SPECIAL GAME email

if you get this from me or anyone else, DON'T open it. It has to be a worm or virus. I'm very sorry, trying to avoid problems for you here.

thanks for letting us know tig.....

I got an email from someone that says "Worm Klez.E immunity" does anyone know what this is?

sounds nasty

Hey Cala, remember when we were talking?? That is one of the ones I got too. It was stripped clean but the title was there. Also got the game one, also stripped. Busy little jerks at work. LOL

I got the Worm Klez.E Immunity also. Didn't know the sender so i just trashed it.

I checked out Norton and Mcafee on the special game, they don't list it, my virus scanner didn't find anything, but it came from a DGer who didn't send it, and it went from me to at least one other and I didn't send it.
hope it's nothing.

i opened that dumb worm virus Worm Klez.E immunity this morning-it said something about recieps so i opened it-i had a feeling about it too!
mcafee picked it up n deleted it-Im done opening anything I dont know what it is!!!! so if you send me something and i dont respond-email me through daves!!!!!

I got the special game email today.

For any email you get that you are suspect of - forward it to uce@ftc.gov - and you will not only get an INSTANT reply if one of the KLEZ worms (there are variants) is embedded, but you will also get a link to the FTC site where the nature of the worm is explained.

It always follows that we should NEVER open any attached file, no matter how enticiing, if it is coming from someone you don't know.

As I understand it, the way the KLEZ worm works is to invade your Outlook Express address list and then is sent out to everyone in your address book.

As a Mac person, I seldom (never? knock on wood) get these nasty things at the level that they infect my system, but I have forwarded LOTS of spam mail to that addy at the FTC - and when there is a nasty attached, they let me know.

One worm carrying piece of email "looked" as if it was a "can't deliver" your email notice supposedly from the Postmaster@earthlink. The file there was a .scr, but they can come in even as a .jpg - so it IS a jungle out there!

Egads!!!!!! We need to practice some lethal vermiculture - compost those guys!!!!

I got the game one too, but was suspicious and deleted it as soon as I read it. It said something like, Come and play a game with me and I would be the 1st to play this game. So, I deleted it. I got an email from a Fellow DG'er this morning and said that I sent her a virus. Well, I had not even sent her anything that I was aware of, and so I have ran my McAfee Scan and am not sure how to remove what it found. Well, I guess I'll wait on DH to get home, he has much more patience than I do.

Thanks Tig for the warning!

funny thing is the special game doesn't have an attachment, but still went through my address book

this is a virus, I looked all over and searched using the words special game, but finally did find the info on Norton site. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html
It is the W32.Klez I am so sorry. The person I got it from didn't have a clue either. Please check your computers. can't tell you how sorry I am.
