Member with virus

[Ken Greene]

there is a member if CC that has a the klez virus. below is a copy of the warning from my isp.
the address it was reported to be from is [nielsens@fmtc.com]
now I'm not sure about this virus but some viruses use a different email address in the sent from section to hide there place of origin so could all members please update if you have virus software and run it. If you don't go to URL=http://www.grisoft.com]Grisoft[/url] and down load their totally free virus software and run that.

here is the body of the report from my ISP:

Ken,

Good informaton about the virus and why people should keep their virus protection updated. I have mine on automatic update but still go do a manual check if it doesn't update every day or so as there are so many. I have stopped that klez virus once and it has so many different locations that I gave up trying to track the original source down. Maybe if you could contact what seems to be your original sourch, that person could take a look at their computer.
