I also received a copy of the virus from Steve Barile. I have had email
contact with him and he knows he is infected.
I'm getting rather annoyed myself at the volume of W32.Klez viruses I am
getting. I have a remove utility and am aware of the different tricks it
plays (like masquerading as a file to make you immune to it). Still, the
level of meaningless emails with random strings bugs me. I delete anything
suspicious. Oh well.
