Hello all,
I got e-mails from them from two days ago, and these e-mails
had attatched file which contains W32.Klez.H@mm computer virus. 
I sent them to notice that your e-mails had virus.
If you get e-mails from them, beware of them.
Best Regards,
Naoto Kojima |

Here is an explaination, from Symatec ( http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html ):
| Symatec, the makers of Norton Anti-Virus wrote: | This worm often uses a technique called "spoofing." When the worm performs its email routine, it can use a randomly chosen address it finds on an infected computer as the "From:" address. Numerous cases have been reported in which users of uninfected computers received complaints that they sent an infected message to someone else.
For example, Linda Anderson is using a computer infected with W32.Klez.H@mm. Linda is not using an antivirus program or does not have the current virus definitions. When W32.Klez.H@mm performs its emailing routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan. The worm inserts Harold's email address into the "From:" portion of an infected message, which the worm then sends to Janet Bishop. Then, Janet contacts Harold and complains that he sent her an infected message, but when Harold scans his computer, Norton AntiVirus (NAV) does not find anything because his computer is not infected. |
