Hi,
Just wanted to warn everyone - I just got a message entitled Chromezip. It was from [email protected] so I downloaded it figuring that if it was from Ebay and Auction Watch it was safe. Big mistake. It is a virus called "W32.klex.h@mm. Fortunately, my Norton Anti-virus scan caught it and isolated it before it could do any damage. This was my first virus and it is very unpleasant - I wish worms would eat the toes of whoever sent it out.

The Klez worm spoofs the address of many different senders and uses many subject lines it most probably didn't come from eBay but from an infected computer which you are in the address book of. It is a very prolific worm and infects countless computers wordwide. You'll receive it many more times but as you've found Norton detects it very quickly.
