Abstract
Probably the biggest impact a computer virus or worm has had globally comes with the worldwide spread of VBS.Loveletter.A. The worm, thought to originate in the Philippines, has been spreading on the Internet since early May using a variety of propagation methods and with multiple variants. The virus, which requires Microsoft Outlook to spread, clogs mail servers with thousands of messages. Files of the following types are destroyed on infected machines: .VBS, .VBE, .JS, .JSE, .CSS, .WSH, .SCT, .HTA, .JPG and .JPEG. The virus is sent via E-mail but a computer is not infected unless the attachment is opened. To avoid infection, delete the E-mail without opening the attachment.
