[TheForge] Possible Klez on your computer

[Mike Spencer]

I just got a copy of the Klez worm at my old ceci.mit.edu address that
has, as its bonus file, a tiny JPG image that looks like some kind of
iron object photographed on a quilt.  The quilt pattern is red
boomerang-like shapes on a white ground.  Internal text data inside
the image files says, "Created by AccuSoft Corp."

If you have a photo like this on your machine, you're probably
infected.

(FYI: Klez forges mail headers so it's essentially impossible to
determine the origin.  It sends its infectous payload and also a
"bonus" file, randomly selected from the victim's HD.  In this case,
the bonus file looks like it might have come from a blacksmith, thus
this message to TheForge.)
