Klez is pretty sneaky. Those of us that have been supporting end-users for awhile (who remembers Lunch.b and NPAD?) - it sure can be entertaining to watch some of this. It can also be a royal pain in the a$$ to always have to try to explain how they work - like in the above posts - and, very hard not to say "I TOLD YOU SO" when the users are not proactive in updating their virus software ("Oh, it won't happen to me, I am very careful" - Yeah - whatever).
I don't see in the above notes about Klez that it also scours your hard drive for html files, Word docs, Excel files and many other types of files in order to glean e-mail addresses to target.
So, if a user frequents this board, that user will have a bunch of cached information from the Pelican web site, e-mail addresses of other Pelicanites etc. on their hard drive in various files and formats. Klez can find that information and use the e-mail addresses and info that it finds to send itself out - pretty cool, huh?
So, seeing the subject line that Island911 provided doesn't surprise me in the least - certainly there isn't anyone out there targeting our friends on this board - in fact, the problem lies right within our member base for not keeping their virus protection software up to date! This should be a weekly event for everyone!
