Default OT: The "I Love you" virus is for real. Details inside...

Do not open any e-mail where the subject lines says anything like "I Love You" or "Love Letter".

The virus will get into the local address book and send itself to everyone AND it will delete all .jpg's and .mp3's on any hard drive it can reach.

Please see the news web sites for more details.

Sorry for the off-topic post but my wife's company was hit by it at 10:00 a.m. EST.<p>Ivan

As with all viruses you can open the e-mail, just don't run or use the attachment.

Default Some virus are contagious even if you JUST open it, like that famous 'Melissa'. So watch out !'

You might be O.K. if you are not using Outlook for your e-mail though. But we never know.
