klez worm

["Mada Dulate" <madadulate () hotmail com>]

Over the last three days I have received about three dozen email 
notifications from my service provider indicating that they blocked emails 
to me that contained the klez worm.  I have been with this ISP for a year 
plus and virus filtering is not a new service to them.  I have never been 
notified of any problems in the past.  I am very careful and pretty low 
profile.

Looking at the headers, they all appear to be from different sources, 
although I realize that that can be spoofed.  They have been sent to two 
addresses that I use as forwarding addresses and several have been sent 
directly to my ISP email address, which I never give out.

I talked with my ISP, but they had nothing to offer me.

My question is:  Can anyone offer an explanation of why I would start 
getting such a flurry of "attacks", especially considering that they are to 
three different, unrelated addresses?  I don't see anything indicating any 
general increase in this worm, but I know it has (quietly?) taken the lead 
out there.

Any hindsights?

Thanks,

Mada
