Re: OT Virus targeting Jewish addresses?

Leaving your front doot unlocked is safer- there are very few people in the 
world who would actually have the chutzpah to try and open it. But in the IT 
world, most everyone thinks they're a hot dog.

    Hi all!
    Since 2 or 3 months, I get  3,4, 5... times a day the KLEZ worm, as 
attached piece. And it downloads and opens automatically!!! Fortunately, my 
anti-virus send them to quarantine, but it takes a few minutes to download. 
Very irritating!
    My provider can't help (!) and pretends that I surf in a highly infected 
environment. Not sure he's right, but... What about you?
    PS: Answer off list if you feel it OT!

    My anti-virus program has caught and blocked the klez virus two or three 
times.  I have a fast dsl line, so the download time isn't long.  The worst 
nuisance from the virus is reading the warning from the antivirus program and 
clicking on the button that tells the software to delete the e-mal message.

    I know several people who surf ther 'Net and receive e-mail without an 
antivirus program, or who have one and haven't keep the signature file 
up-to-date.  I tell them it is like leaving their front door unlocked.

    With the dsl line, I also have a firewall program.  It blocked an effort to 
invade my computer at least one time.

      Pardon the off-topic submission, but I just received an email containing 
an executable file with an email that pretended to be someone recommending a Tu 
Bishvat download.  Just thought I'd let you know (and remember: NEVER NEVER 
download .exe's!)
