ILOVEYOU Virus

Posted by: charles <charles@...>

List members,
This virus is *NOT* a hoax. It is verified, and is destructive. If you
recieve an email with an attachment and the subject is ILOVEYOU, or the
message tells you to open the attchment "because I love you" *DO NOT OPEN
IT* Delete it immediately, and empty your recylcle bin. If you follow
this procedure you will *NOT* be infected. AOL Users...do not download the
attachment, delete the message and allow it to be deleted from AOL's mail
servers.

The offices of the Florida Baptist Convention have been hit, so it is
verified. It has also taken out a local insurance company. Completely
knocked their computer system out. McAfee users have a fix, Norton does not
at this time, but it will be forthcoming.
