[LogPlus] LogPlus Main Site Problem - Possible Virus - Beware

[Dick]

It has the makings of the KLEZ Virus.  That is it infects someone's
computer, then randomly selects 2 addresses from the address book, then
uses one address in the From box and one in the To Box.  It also is sent
randomly to others in the Address Book, often using old e-mail sitting
on the infected computer.  Sometimes it changes the Subject line.  The
person it comes from is not necessarily the actual sender.  It always
will attach the Worm in hopes that some unsuspectuing soul will open the
attachment so it can replicate itself again and again.

Best defense is to have a good Anti Virus Program, set to scan e-mail
.... both inbound and outbound, but especially inbound and keep the
definitions updated at least weekly.  Most AV Programs will supply the
updated definitions free.
