This notice just hit our intranet (9am MDT 5/4/00)

--Start Notice "There is a mass breakout of a new worm, which the Symantec AntiVirus Research Center is currently calling VBS.LoveLetter.A.

It was discovered a few hours ago in Europe, and has already hit several large European Corporations. It is likely to hit the US quickly.

Although there is no virus definition for this virus yet, we want all users to delete any email that has:

Subject of e-mail: ILOVEYOU

Name of attachment: LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs

This is a very dangerous computer virus."

--End Notice

It looks like a Visual Basic Script. If you get it, DON'T launch it. Delete it.

In Britain today it has been in all the news and is very serious so DON'T OPEN A EMAIL WITH THE SUBJECT ILOVE YOU Lucy Randy Hinds wrote in message news:[email]...

This virus is driving me crazy, I've gotten 76 of these e-mails since 8:30 this morning! When I got the first one I was like, all right! I've got a secret admirer (because I didn't recognize the name of the sender). Then I got five more back to back, and figured hey, I may be lovable, but I'm not THAT lovable!
