Can anybody explain this Klez Variant?

["Drexcia ====" <drexcia () hotmail com>]

Hi Guys,

A friend of mine received this message supposedly from me in his hotmail 
account. Names/Email addresses have been changed but you'll get the idea

This is a special good tool
I wish you would like it.

I know this looks like a typical Klez message but there are a few things 
that have me stumped.

1) The "my_name" email address is an old excite account which hasn't been 
used in over 2 years and has been disabled. The "myfriend" address was not 
in my address book at this excite account.

2) The return path is "my_name"@verizon.net

3) The source IP has been traced back to a prepaid account with an 
Australian ISP which doesn't require any personal information to register.

Obviously my email address has been spoofed and they've used a Verizon 
server to send it. Also included was a 112K Attachment called href.exe which 
I'm unable to access, presumably Hotmail has stripped it.

Anybody able to help me out with this one? I'm really just wondering if 
anybody has seen this before or if this is specifically targeted at me.

Many thanks guys..
