It appears that the newest version takes an address from an address book and hides the real source of the virus. So if you get one from someone you know, it may have come from some completly different source.

Klez.h worm continues to spread
By Robert Vamosi
ZDNet Reviews
April 23, 2002
Another member of the Klez worm family is spreading fast across
the Internet. Klez.h (w32.klez.h@mm, also known as Klez.g and
Klez.k) is a significant variation of existing worms Klez.e and
Klez.a. Klez.h has evolved dramatically enough to be able to slip
past recent antivirus signature files on some PCs. A few users
will need to update their antivirus signature files to specifically
include Klez.h. Because of its rapid spread, Klez.h rates a 6 on
the ZDNet Virus Meter.
