The size of the mail was 149KB and it contains a destructive .pif.

This seems to be the new one going around. From the return address it appears to be from TFL. It isn't. I repeat, it isn't coming from TFL What this one seems to do is search the address book of the infected user and use random legitimate email addresses as the return address so that it apperas the mail was sent from that person.

RAE-
I get a lot of these warnings since all the bounced TFL mail comes to me. It appears that [email protected] used the TFL mailer innocently, perhaps using the"email this page to a friend" feature. The TFL Mailserver filters for viruses and notified you of the quarantine.

Could you foward me that email?

We're getting tons of these as well, Rich - 1SKS and BladeForums.com both.

I've got Nortons on every computer that has either domain name access, and no Klez's are detected... must be someone else with our names as a mask.
