UNknown to me, my computer was infected by the Klez virus(despite runnung norton anti virus 2002) . The virus sent a copy of itself to everyone on my mail list. To find out if you have the virus logon to symantec.com and download their free Klez virus program per their instructions. This particular virus attacks anti virus programs, so you might not have detected it Computers are not time saving devices.  Dave

That is a nasty one. Don't even click on a message you suspect is klez.
You need to download the free klez clean from the Norton web site as regular
norton does not work. Then boot the computer in safe mode to run the klez clean.
Make sure auto display preview panes is off in outlook express.
It hit me when I was in aus

Listers,
 I just checked my quarantine folder. Norton has stopped 10 separate instances of the Klez virus from invading my machine between 4/27/02 and 6/19/02. I just ran the Klez removal program and I am un infected. It appears that those of you who have had problems, were exposed to the virus BEFORE you obtained updated virus definitions. Since my machine stopped the virus on 4/27/02, that means that Norton has had the capability to stop this (using the 2002 version of Norton) since at least late April.
 Norton Antivirus 2002 differs from the 2000 and 2001 versions in the fact that it inserts itself between your ISP and your email program. All email is scanned before entering OR leaving your email program. This was done because several of the newer viruses propagate by simply READING the infected email. You do not even have to open an attachment to be infected. If you are using an older version of the Norton Antivirus software, you need to upgrade to the 2002 version.
