Is this a virus of some sort??

[ArkiStan]

Hey guys,
After being away from my email account for a while I returned to find 30 or so emails from random people with random subjects lines. The emails are empty, but are all about 120-140kb large. I deleted all of them for now, but I'm sure I'll get more. I don't believe I saw any attachments, but then I could be wrong....

does this look familiar to anybody??

BTW, I heard somebody talking about "klez.e" ??

Ya it soudns like the Klez virus. Deleting is good. You should always have an anti virus program running though :)

thanks. at least I know what it is. I just got another one of those emails today. I have a question. Would a virus detection program prevent me from getting these emails?? Isn't it the people I'm getting these emails from that are infected??

And what virus scanning program would you recommend I use??

[brainsmile]

Norton is good
