[ale] Email Tracking

Hey all,

I received a weird email just yesterday. The email shows as though I had
personally sent it but that I got the address wrong. Needless to say I
know that I didn't send it. The email had a few attachments with it one of
which had a file that contained a virus. Specifically, W32.Klez.gen at mm. 

I'm afraid that my home Win98 mahcine has this virus on it but this email
is the first sign of it that I have. Anyway, looking for feedback as to
how, who or what send this email on "my behalf". If it is the virus,
Symantec
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.e@mm.html)
has some instructions as to how to take care of it.


Thanks for the feedback in advance :)

I have included the full email headers below:
host4.hostaurl.com is my siteturn.com hosting server
kstoll at localhost should be my Linux box acting as router and masq for my
DSL service.
