The Most Stupid Infection Msg Ever Seen

I received the following msg this morning.

****************************************
Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.
Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.
We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.
You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.
If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.
If you have any question,please mail to me.
*******************************************

It could be the most idiotic virus spreading msg I have ever seen. Laugh

Email him to make sure it is the real sender and then tell him you've reported him to the FBI.

I have received this one a lot too. I blocked them, and don't get it anymore.

I don't see the poing in it. I'm wondering who/why it was sent....is it a virus, or just some prat trying to be clever?

Mine definately all contained the klez virus. The tool was an .exe containing it.

I got a new virus this morning actually, some kind of password sniffer... what was the name of it...

I just checked my logs, it was:

HackTool.PWSteal

Which is an HTTP brute force hacker (apparently).

It was dealt with by the virus cheaker, but it got through as it came from someone I know (not on here).
