virus heads up (no who, sorry)
Hi all,
Someone who is a Charter customer using Windows has a the Klez virus in
their system. This infected machine has my email address
(lomara@earthlink.net) in their windows address book, and the virus
chose it to use as the sender's address when it sent itself out to
everyone. I am not the person infected with this virus. I am not using
Windows. The messages are not coming from my machine. I just wanted
the Charter customers who are using Windows to please check their
machines for this virus. I am getting email bounces and that is how I
was notified of this.
This is the machine's ip, and this is how I know it's a Charter
customer:
Received: from 66-214-5-148.lb-cres.charterpipeline.net ([66.214.5.148]
...and here is the bounce message:
