Yeah, the acsalaska.net infectee just used my email name to send one to the list! (I didn't do it, honest!) I'm getting about 2-3 klez virus msgs a day at work. Luckily, our company firewall renames any executable, (or .pif, etc.) to .xxx, and my antivirus program shreds the attachment (and my local sw firewall quarantines it after that, so I'm pretty safe, but I feel sorry for any naive users without protection.
