I love you virus

The new virus named in those three little words hit hard on the love starved. The 'melissa' virus was untill now the most disruptive and costly virus recorded. 'I love you' proved to be worser and spread around the world with in ten hours. Over ten million computers infected, and damages are estimated to be in the tune of $ 2 billion.

Untill last week it was not clear who unleashed the virus. The virus is the worst so far since it is wide spread. The damage this caused in U.A.E. is understood to be insignificant.

The advice is that one shall open only attachments that he is sure are coming from familiar senders.
