Funny side effect of a virus
One of the funny side effects of the KLEZ virus is that it mimics the addresses of unopened email in an infected users email.

THis results in the appearance that you have sent an email to someone with a virus attached.

These people just rage on about how someone sent them a virus when it came from some unknown 3rd party that happened to have your email in their box that was unopened at the time that the virus became active in their computer.

Of course the truth can be found when you look at the options of a specific email but try to convince someone that just got a virus because they choose not to run any protection or were not keeping their protection up to date. It is actually kind of funny from that stand point.

People that use email and do not use any up to date protection are the reason that viruses spread. I bet they also have sex without a condom saying "Nothing will happen". geeeeze!
