Subject: LOVELETTER Virus
You may have heard about the LoveLetter Virus on the
news this morning (Thursday, 5/4/00). This is similar
to the Melissa virus -- it comes in an e-mail message
with a subject of "LOVE LETTER FOR YOU" or "I LOVE
YOU" and an attachment called
"LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs".
If you are using a graphical e-mail client such as
Outlook, Outlook Express, or Netscape Messenger and
you open the attachment, the virus will be executed,
your PC will be infected, and the e-mail message will
be sent to everyone in your address book or contacts
list.
If you are using Pine, you would have to Save the
attachment, ftp it to your PC, and then open it.
In any case, if you get an e-mail like this, please
delete it immediately. Note -- I did get an infected
e-mail message from an unknown source?
But I deleted it immediately.
Please be careful as this is around and STILL active
with no known anti-virus definition string.
John A. Gamblin
