Got the following from www.symantec.com regarding the W32.Klez.H@mm virus:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html

This worm searches the Windows address book, the ICQ database, and local files for email addresses. The worm sends an email message to these addresses with itself as an attachment. The worm contains its own SMTP engine and attempts to guess at available SMTP servers. For example, if the worm encounters the address user@abc123.com it will attempt to send email via the server smtp.abc123.com.

The subject line, message bodies, and attachment file names are random. The From address is randomly-chosen from email addresses that the worm finds on the infected computer.

Here's a virus removal tool for the specific virus going around in case you're infected:
