Thought you should all be aware - one of our email group members has already
been hit by this and even though our mail reader is not susceptible to this
type virus (without opening the attachment), many others may be. Paula

>MOREnet Security Advisory: "VBS/LoveLetter" Virus
>
>A new e-mail based Visual Basic script virus, VBS/LoveLetter, has been
>found
>among MOREnet customers today. It spreads through e-mail as a chain
>letter.
>This virus targets Microsoft Outlook mail clients and mIRC chat clients,
>and
>has already resulted in denial of service attacks against MOREnet
>customer
>mail servers.
>
>When it is run, the virus copies itself to the Windows System directory
>as
>MSKernel32.vbs and LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs; and to the Windows
>directory
>as Win32DLL.vbs. The virus also adds itself to registry, so it will be
>executed when the system is restarted. Next the worm replaces the
>Internet
>Explorer home page with a link that points to an executable program,
>"WIN-BUGSFIX.exe". If the file is downloaded, the virus adds this to
>registry as well, causing that program to be executed when the system is
>restarted.
>
>The virus also creates "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.HTM" in the Windows System
>directory. This file contains the virus, and it will be sent using mIRC
>whenever the user joins an IRC channel. The virus also uses Microsoft
>Outlook to mass mail itself to every address in each and every Outlook
>address book. The headers from the message will read:
>
>Subject: ILOVEYOU
>Body: kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me.
>Attachment: LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs
>
>The virus does additional damage to local files, but the above

>Affected Software Versions
>========================
>
>Directly Affected:
>
> Microsoft Outlook e-mail clients
> mIRC chat clients
>
>Indirectly Affected:
>
> Any user of a mail server clogged with mass mailed copies of the
>virus.
>
>What Customers Should Do
>========================
>
>1. Do NOT open any e-mail with the headers:
>
>Subject: ILOVEYOU
>Body: kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me.
>Attachment: LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs
>
>Simply deleting the message will prevent the virus from running, so long
