Hi all,
This seems to be an unfortunately common occurance. Like Curtis I recieve over 50 e-mails a day containing viruses of one sort or another, again some from addresses I recognize and some not. My only suggestion is get a anti-virus software and update your definations frequently.

: Hi Tulio,
:
: Thanks for the note. My system is clean and has been so.
:
: Emails from MustangsMustangs are in many systems throughou
: t the world and some of those systems have been infected.
: The virus uses other email addresses in the "from" box an
: d very cleverly creates different subject lines using text
: from other emails to keep you interested.
:
: So it appears that I sent you something when I did not, so
: meone else's system sent it without their knowledge.
:
: It works mostly with Outlook Express (which I do not use)
: and spreads and spreads to other systems.
:
: I receive approx. 50 infected emails every day, some with
:
: familiar names, some not. It is a big pain in the butt and
: does not seem to be going away yet.
:
: Advice to all is to always use anti-virus software when on
: line and go to your software's page and download the fix f
: or the Klez virus and use it even if you don't think you h
: ave it. Never open attachments that are not from someone y
: ou know and with a message telling you what it is and make
: sure that any attachment passes cleanly through your anti
: -viurs program.
:
: Also beware, there are emails out there that send you an a
: ttachment to fix the virus, but it is NOT a fix, just more
: of the virus.
:
:
: Thanks Tulio for bringing it to my attention.

:
: : I received from you an e-mail titled :An humorous game.

: : Since I have also seen messages with the same title, in
: di
: : fferent languages, I did not open it. But likely, it is
: in
: : fected with a virus.
