one of us has a system infected with a KLEZ email worm

i am recieving multiple emails from users both known and unknown to me,

this virus can falsify the senders address, and purport to be from any user in the infected systems address book,

suggest all check their systems immediately
THOROUGHLY!!

This worm CAN hide in a format NOT recognised by standard auto detect mode,
it MUST be scanned for aggressively!!!

I HAVE RECIEVED 3 COPIES IN DIFFERENT FORMATS FROM DIFFERENT USERS WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS!

one as an EXE (setup.exe),
CLAIMED TO BE A KLEZ REMOVAL TOOL FROM MCAFEE!

one as a batch file (gardenia.bat),
one as a screensaver file (req_main.scr),

I have contacted Mcafee and they are evaluating the threat.
