>Is anyone aware of an e-mail virus (or maybe just malicious spam) that arrives with the subject "your password" and some URL to click on in the body of the message? An acquaintance of mine reported receiving such a message, purportedly from me. I didn't send it and my machines all come back clean with a NAV virus scan. I can't find any reference to this type of thing at sarc.com, incidents.org, cert.org, etc., although I do recall receiving an e-mail like this myself last week, which I deleted without opening. Does anybody have any information on this?

I think it might be Klez.H. You may have activated it by just clicking on it - if you had the preview window active.

The subject line is selected randomly from a rather long list.
