Strange Klez email

Oh brother.
I received an email that seemed to come from a friendly email address on this site. However, it was oddly formal and so I deleted it, suspicious since it contained a warning about the Klez virus. The link included "mail to me" supposedly contained a "Fix" for the virus.
I've confirmed that the email was a phony which means a virus was probably attached to it in the link.
Just a warning.

... Klez enters into your email program, and emails itself to everyone in your directory, and repeats the proccess from there....
... it's really not harmful to my knowledge, just really fuckin' annoying...

Yep, seems to be making the rounds again. I got one this morning. Luckily Norton catches it.
I got my worst flaming over that stupid virus. It was the first virus I had ever gotten too.

Puzzling.
I've had at least two Klez fix emails that I dumped--but not recently.
