Hello,

The Love Letter virus is currently doing the rounds in Europe
on a large scale. It will soon become clear whether the US
and the rest of the world is affected.

If you receive an e-mail with the subject title (ignore
underscores - used to get past our mail sweeping software)
I_LOVE_YOU, do NOT open this mail and delete it immediately.
It is a variant of the Melissa worm, except it is destructive
to local and network drives. This affects computers running
Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft
Internet Explorer.

For an explanation of the Love Letter virus or a solution if
you have been infected, please visit:

Development Analyst.
