Hi,
   I case it's not clear to everyone, this "Klez" worm covers its
tracks by taking a random e-mail address from the address book in the
machine it's infected, and putting that random address into the "From"
line of the infected e-mails it sends out to others in the same
address book.
   This means that when you receive it, it did *not* come from the
computer shown in the "From" line. So don't contact that person and
abuse them. :-) 
   If that doesn't make sense it's because I'm half asleep. Don
McKenzie has written a much clearer explanation and put it on his
website. See http://www.dontronics.com/virus.html

Cheers,
Bob
