Symantec discovers "Love Bug" computer worm and posts fix
So far, I've received more than a dozen email messages with the attached virus!
Therefore, here's some info that will likely be of great help to you
if and when you receive the contaminated "love bug" message -- Glenn Letham, editor@spatialnews.com
Researchers at the Symantec AntiVirus Research Center have
discovered VBS.LoveLetter.A, an extremely fast-spreading computer
worm that e-mails itself as an attachment. It appears as an
attachment with the subject line "ILOVEYOU" along with an
attachment called "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.VBS."
Preliminary findings indicate that the worm sends itself to all
addresses in the computer user's Outlook address book causing
mail servers to clog. The worm will infect files with the
following extensions: vbs, vbe, je, jse, css, wsh, sct, hta, jpg,
jpeg, mp3 and mp2. As well as delete your computer files.
If you are not a current customer, we recommend for your
protection, purchasing Norton AntiVirus, Norton Internet Security
or Norton SystemWorks now at:

If you are a current customer of Norton AntiVirus, Norton Internet
Security or Norton SystemWorks you can download the fix by running
your LiveUpdate and get updated against the latest viruses,
including the "Love Bug".
