I don't like sending this stuff to the list but this one is a nasty virus.
This Virus was started this morning and IS REAL I know because someone at
the company got it and his computer is now junk (in IT getting rebuilt)
and a friend of mine just off the wall warned me about it because one of
her clients got it.
This is what was sent to us at work:
If you receive a message with the subject of ILOVEYOU delete the message
immediately. This has been confirmed as a virus from Symantec. Symantec
is working on fix at the present time which we'll distribute as soon as
possible. If you've already received the above message and opened it
either close down Groupwise or at the very minimum do not send any further
email. Please call the Help Desk at 6999 and let them know. We'll fix
your system as soon as a fix is released.
This virus is real. It has so far today trashed 10 PCs and infected a
server here where I work. Not every mail utility activates it. All of the
victims here were using Outlook for their mail. I use Eudora by Qualcomm
and am unaffected. I just had to make sure I deleted the file that came
across as an attachment.
for more info on the virus see article below
