  Klez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Klez is a computer worm that propagates via E-mail.
The text portion consists of either an HTML internal frame tag, which in buggy email clients causes the worm to be executed, or a few lines of text, sometimes even claiming to be an antidote for the Klez worm.
Thus, if the recipient has a procmail recipe to reply to worms with a warning, the warning is misdirected, and the infected user never finds out that he is infected until his computer crashes.

 KLEZ Virus Alert
Klez is one of the most widely distributed virii in some time, infecting computers around the world in one of its several variants.
Klez is spread by collecting email addresses from cached files, ICQ logs and the Windows Address Book stored on an infected computer and mailing itself out using a built-in SMTP (outgoing email client) function.
Some variants of the Klez worm use a technique known as "spoofing." If it does this, it chooses at random an address that it finds on an infected computer as the "From:" address that it uses when it performs its mass-mailing routine.

One common version of Klez may email itself as an executable claiming to be a "patch" or antivirus program, under random names similar to "Windows XP Patch" or "W32.Klez Antivirus" or "Elkern immunity".

There is some dispute over whether the latest outbreak is known as Klez.g or Klez.h, but the culprit is a mass mailing worm that purports to offer an antidote to all the other Klez variants.
The virus comes as an attachment to an email with a variety of subject lines, but it also has a message warning about the danger of the Klez worm and urging users to execute the attached 'antidote' file.
The message, which includes a footnote telling the user to ignore antivirus software warnings that the attachment is infected, reads: "Note: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm, some AV monitors maybe cry when you run it.

 Wired News: Klez: Hi Mom, We're No. 1
More interesting than Klez's ability to entice vast numbers of users to open its infected e-mailed attachments is how the virus -- which is neither particularly clever nor cutting edge -- managed to turn some antiviral applications into spam-generating machines.
Klez's trick of spoofing senders' addresses resulted in floods of those warnings going out to the wrong people: people who did not send the virus and whose machines are not infected.
Spokespeople for several AV companies, while acknowledging the spam-spewing problem, said that one of the reasons that Klez has managed to spread so rapidly is that the standard alert systems were unable to work with Klez's bogus sender information, making it difficult to notify owners of infected PCs that they were unwittingly spreading the virus.
