The Klez worm (not virus) searches your Microsoft Address Book and incoming
mailbox for e-mail addresses and then fakes an e-mail that appears to be
from someone you know. The person in the "From" line never actually sent
this e-mail. This is known programmed behavior for Klez. Google on "Klez"
for a description of this worm.
