An e-mail worm called "Klez" is raging across the Internet, tricking people into opening e-mail from folks they know by forging the "from" field in the messages it sends.

Because of this forgery, people have received e-mail that appears to be from Drew University's webmaster (webmaster@drew.edu) and College Admissions Office (cadm@drew.edu). In reality, our offices did not send this e-mail, and are not infected with the virus in question.

The latest version of the worm is called W32/Klez.gen@MM. You can learn more about it - including how to spot and remove an infection -- by visiting these web sites:

• McAfee's Klez Page
  
• Symantec's Klez Page
  
• F-Secure's Klez Page
