Someone(s) on the list has the Klez virus. It comes in a email message
that says there is a movie file attached (which is actually the virus).
It is a very common, and dangerous, worm. It is very hard to determine
who since it is a clever worm that fakes/spoofs the from field, so when
you get an infected email that says it is from Person A, it probably
never came from Person A's machine, but Person B who just happens to have
Person A's email address, as well as yours (or this list's) on their
computer. You can not trust the From field, and that makes it hard to
determine whose computer the virus/worm actually was mailed from. It can
infect a person's computer and send out emails without that person
knowing. So no use trying to blame anyone, there are many victims of this
virus.<br><br>

Everyone, please check your pc for this virus. I'm suddenly getting a
deluge of emails sent to the listowner address with the virus in it, and
a few others on the list are reporting getting emails that are marked as
coming from the list-owner with a movie attachment but it is actually the
virus.<br><br>
If you get an email that says it is from the javascript list or
javascript list-owner and it has a "movie" attachment to it,
delete it immediately. Update your virus protection, if you have it, and
manually run it to check for the Klez virus on your PC, you'll be doing
your friends, colleagues and customers a favor by doing so.<br><br>
