Yeah, but that does not explain why email is being posted to ScanDC in your
name. Yes, Klez attaches to your (if your infected) email address book and
starts shooting things off. However, Klez is just one of many that can do
that kinda of wierdness. If Yahoo! members are sending you infected mail,
set up a "rule" in Outlook to automatically delete in coming mail,
otherwise, it's going to forward that to us on SCAN DC. Which, still makes
me wonder once you get email from Yahoo! members its auto-forwarding to this
board.

As for viruses, you are only protected when Norton decides it serious enough
to have an antidote posted. Most of the time, it's too little, too late.
REACTIVE, not PROACTIVE. There are 1000's of virus discovered everyday, not
all on them are included in Nortons, Mcafee's .DAT download. 

You may want to do more research & see why Yahoo! mail sent to you is being
sent (forwarded) to ScanDC.
