A little off topic, but I thought I could bring my experience to the table and calm some fears, and then we wouldn't have to talk about this anymore. The Klez worm is insidious, has many versions, and is international. I get it sent to this address 2-3 times per day, never in the same form twice. I don't open the attachment so I am not infected. You can't tell from whose computer it was sent because it will invade a database and put random addresses in the "from" spot, as well as random names on the attachment and random lines in the subject. AOL has a bunch of information after an email including "return path" and that is where I suspect it actually came from. That is never the same as the "from" address. You may or may not know the sender. Sometimes there is a message body and sometimes not, and sometimes it trys to tell you it is a IE patch or even a fix for a virus!. I am getting ready to discontinue this email address as it seems to be in the Klez's own address book so I get it frequently. My new address adds a 1 after the ebbikes.
See this symantec site for all the info including a removal tool:
