I work for the Federal government, and it's been around here also. Kill the message, then go to your Deleted Messages folder and kill them there as well so they will go to digital hell where they belong. I concurr with Peter, this is not a hoax. I had 162 of them this morning in my inbox. I deleted them so was not infected. Good luck everyone Grant. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Korsten To: 01v@onelist.com ; ex5@... ; AN1x-list@egroups.com ; music-bar@... ; fss-list@... Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2000 8:53 AM Subject: [AN1x-list] Virus warning (the 'I love you' virus) Hi lists, Sorry for crossposting, and sorry that this is a virus warning, but there's a really nasty e-mail virus messing around. Please note that this is not a hoax. I wouldn't suggest that you send this to all your friends, because I expect that you'll receive this message from other people as well. Mail servers will be overloaded enough already. You should be able to recognise the message by the subject line which contains 'ILOVEYOU' and the attachment 'loveletterforyou.txt'. However, this is actually a Visual Basic program with the extra '.vbs' extension, but you mailer will hide this. I suggest that you inform youself by checking out major news sites. I just checked and CNN.com didn't carry it yet, but the BCC did: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_736000/736080.stm You'd also best check out anti-virus companies websites, to download a repair tool in case you've been infected, or if you fear this has happened. The virus is rather nasty - some reports say that it kills JPG and MP3 files, plus it changes the start page in Internet Explorer, plus it mails everyone in your address book - possibly mailing lists. - Peter Community email addresses: Post message: AN1x-list@onelist.com Subscribe: AN1x-list-subscribe@onelist.com Unsubscribe: AN1x-list-unsubscribe@onelist.com List owner: AN1x-list-owner@onelist.com Shortcut URL to this page: http://www.onelist.com/community/AN1x-list Community email addresses: Post message: AN1x-list@onelist.com Subscribe: AN1x-list-subscribe@onelist.com Unsubscribe: AN1x-list-unsubscribe@onelist.com List owner: AN1x-list-owner@onelist.com Shortcut URL to this page: http://www.onelist.com/community/AN1x-list
