It's not really a virus: it's a Trojan Horse that proclaims its love for the recipient and requests that you open its attachment. On a first date even! It then loves you so much that it sends copies of itself to everyone in your addressbook (slut!) and starts destroying files on your drive. Course they estimate that it's infected 10% of the UK. Pine/Elm/Mutt users as always laugh maniacally as the Trojan shuffles countless wasted packets over saturated backbones filling overworked SMTP servers everywhere. Sysadmins are seen weeping in the alleys. The first two lines of the script are quite amusing. rem barok -loveletter(vbe) rem by: spyder / ispyder@mail.com / @GRAMMERSoft Group /Manila,Philippines I do hope that's not his real address.... Found this link to the script, which seems to be in an odd place... http://www.olen.net/LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT It is not the VB script that would run in IE. Strange place for it to be though I thought... One of my coworkers just walked in my office, saying 'what are .vbs documents' ? Microsoft has announced that they are changing the name of their popular e-mail program to "Microsoft Lookout!" Laughing maniacally as she heads out home for the day.

I stopped using the internet completely about six months ago, and very rarely switch on my PC. It's the only way to be really safe.

I use eudora, which often drives me crazy, but it's the only program aside from outlook (which I hate with a passion for other reasons.. just add another one to it..) that I've found that has multiple mailbox capabilities.. As for email, well, I've yet to receive a virus via email, but I'm not dumb enough to open an attachment unless I was expecting it... Rosh

I hate outlook and not too fond of wudora either but like the multiple mailbox also so I use Pegasus mail. Works great and has lots of options for mailing.

I never e......ver open an attachment on an e-mail unless it's from somebody I (a) know, and (b) trust. And I never, ever, ever open e-mails that say things like "I love you", or "You've just won...." or stuff like that. Paul
