Hi BGS!

There is an updated version of the W32klezb virus making the rounds.
For details go to: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32klezb.html

The worm attempts to exploit a MIME vulnerability in some
versions of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and
Internet Explorer to allow the executable file to run
automatically without the user double-clicking on the
attachment. Microsoft has issued a patch which secures against
this vulnerability which can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp

Let's be careful out there...
