Scan your comp, you are infected by a virus.
NKL.SCR was included within the infected email.

Check on www.symantec.com for infor regarding the particular file. They have almost everything. (God bless Norton 2002 and Live Update)

p.s. that file refers to s screensaver of some kind.

ok, i've done quite a bit of searching using several variations and looking in several places.
i have found no reference to this at all
i am inclined not to believe it.
thats not to say i'm 100% sure,
but i doubt its real

I can't find a reference to this "virus" anywhere. I'm not so sure it's a virus, either!

I did find out that NKL is some sort of German Lottery, though!

Ok it turns out that someone is using my email addy to send out crap
with the subject text with 'Re: Honey'

if you see any from lymree@hotmail.com (my site's email now), ignore it. I don't send out emails with that hotmail addy.

thanks slackerboy...

I searched the scr and it was just a worm 'goner' virus

ooook I did some scanning... and yep, it's a small worm virus that only hangs around on emails. Like I said, I don't have it.. but I've talked to other hotmail users and they got it... 25 of them

me thinks it is either a new one or unknown that the anti-virus programs do not detect it.

pass this info around folks:
If you see any emails with the subject title that says either 'Honey' or 'Re: Honey', please send/report it to your anti-virus program service. Do not even click on that email
I've yet to confirm about this but one never can be sure unless you get the anti-virus service to check it out

It's the one that sends out emails with the "from" as someone in your address book, not your own address. Therefore-someone with lymree@hotmail.com in their addresses book has the virus...
I think Ziroc discussed this earlier?

Can't search for it...(where's that function gone?)
but this explains it a bit more.

Edit: I'm assuming that it's a variation on the Klez virus, the subject and text you get is the random data...?
