> I suspect the KLEZ virus works like this:

This is my viewpoint of one Klez propagation method (and, once again, I have
no factual basis, just reasoning based on the experiences of myself and my
colleagues):

1. Infected web servers spider other sites for keywords and/or e-mail
addresses.  If your e-mail address is not published anywhere online, and you
don't visit a site hosted on an infected server, you will never be affected
by Klez.

2. Klez has its own SMTP engine, so it is not limited to Outlook (ok, this
one I know for a fact)

3. To become infected, one typically views an HTML page that hosts the viral
code.  (This HTML may be via a web browser or HTML mail)

If someone has more accurate information, please share it!  The published
information that I read seems to leave some gaps (perhaps intentionally).
This has become a hot topic to several of my clients, not to mention a
personal curiosity.
