This information is probably correct. The Klez worm attacks Outlook and OE because of the way they share resources with IE, so AOL mail users are probably OK unless they download the attachment. But I wouldn't go so far as to say you're secure as long as everyone is using AOL. Keep those virus signatures up to date!

Still walking on the information superhighway with a 56K modem?
Wouldn't you rather cruise along at a megabyte per second?

Head over to DSLReports.com and check your broadband options!

Thanks John. I am running XP and GoBack. I guess I'll just open one and see what happens. I think GoBack and/or sys. restore will take care of any problem and opening one of these E-Mails and seeing what happens will set my mind at ease about the subject, one way or the other.

Jakers,

If your NAV 2002 definitions are up to date, the program will stop the Klez worm.
System restore will not provide recovery from Klez in case of infection.
