    You need to track down the original sender of the email. Klez spoofs addresses. The virus isn't coming to your machine. Its coming from somebody else who has your email address. If you can track that person down, you can warn them and they can clean their machine. 
     
    There are patches to Outlook/Outlook Express to protect them from Klez type viruses.  You should tell your friend to download those patches (www.windowsupdate.com) and get a virus scanner.

    	Hi All,
    	        Hoping someone here has the right information to help me. 
    	In addition to being the Webbie for the Army MARS Oregon
    	Website, I have my own personal Website (not sales or such,
    	just "Here I am World") hosted on Virtual Avenue. I keep seeing
    	messages in my 'alias' email such as:
    
    	Recipient of the infected attachment:  Andrea Moe\Inbox
    	Subject of the message:  Worm Klez.E immunity
    	One or more attachments were deleted
    	  Attachment Page.exe was Deleted for the following reasons:
    	    Virus W32.Klez.H@mm was found.  
    	 
    	It comes into johnat_private and auto-forwards to the alias
    	john.jewkesat_private EACH of these emails claims that johnat_private
    	sent it. I do NOT have any email facilities on the server, nor do I ever
    	send email with that e-address in it. (YES, I do know how to 'do' that in both
    	Netscape and IE Mail and Outlook /Express, BUT, I do not.....) The techs at
    	VirtualAve.net swear that their servers do NOT support Open Frame Relays. 
    	Scans of my own computer also do not reveal the worm (Even went and got the
    	'worm scanner' specifically written for KLEZ from Norton's Homepage).
    	 
    	        So, How do I stop it?
