Yeah, the acsalaska.net infectee just used my email name to send one to the
list!

(I didn't do it, honest!)

I'm getting about 2-3 klez virus msgs a day at work.   Luckily, our company
firewall renames any executable, (or .pif, etc.) to .xxx, and my antivirus
program shreds the attachment (and my local sw firewall quarantines it
after that, so I'm pretty safe, but I feel sorry for any naive users
without protection.
