Folks, watch your email. It seems that Gary has been infected with the Klez virus, or one of its close variants. The confusing part about the virus is how it operates- it picks a random email
address from the address book of the person it has infected, and inserts it into the "From:" field in the emails that the virus generates. You can get more info and some detection/removal tools at the following links-

Grab the fix at the bottom of this page. It should find and clean any effects of KLEZ.
