That's my current understanding of it, yes. Keep in mind KWM is just a web
application, and subject to browser security settings - if Klez were that
easy to spread by simply viewing a web page, there would be tons of
websites out there that could maliciously attack your computer simply by
you visiting the page. With a few rare exceptions, that doesn't happen,
since browser security has typically been a step or two ahead of Outlook
security (browsers don't try to download or execute attachments in MIME
messages).
