Subject: VIRUS ALERT DON'T OPEN header "ILOVEYOU"--THIS IS
FOR REAL
From: "James H. Barton" <redwing1986(AT)MEDIAONE.NET>
Date: 4 May 2000 1:20pm
Friends--I will shortly be forwarding several messages
concerning the Melissa type email virus which arrives with the head
ILOVEYOU.
DO NOT open a message with that header, EVEN IF IT IS FROM SOMEONE
YOU KNOW. Apparently the virus works like the Pretty Park virus, which
sends out email broadcast from infected machines.
I first learned about this threat from a woman on MassBird who got
the message from Yale U. When I opened the francophone list Avimonde a
few seconds later, there was an ILOVEYOU message.
I immediately alerted Avimonde, as did a French subscriber. As
subsequent messages will show, this threat is very real.
Yours,

Friends-- the following is self explanatory. I hope it's
convincing. I will forward Dori Sosensky's original message and a
message from France, which provide more details on the virus.

Jim,
Please do put it out. I'm not subscribed to either of those so I can'
post. Just read them on-line.
Got the below from a friend who had it:
Just got an article off Bloomberg.... "I Love You" shut down the systems at
Ford
Motor Co. and the House of Commons. Apparently it's all over the world,
spreading within networkds and wiping out random files written with Microsoft
software.

We just got this from the Yale ITS people and they are usually very careful
before they put something out so this one just might be real and I wanted
to pass it along.
Hello Gang!
Just received a call from Eric Jarvis. Apparently BIC has been hit with a
new(?) virus that has temporarily disabled their entire e-mail
system. The virus acts like Melissa and is named ILOVEYOU (something with
a love letter attachment). They are using Outlook so perhaps we won't be
hit quite as hard but I just wanted to send out a warning.
If you receive any mail remotely related to the above subject line, please
call the sender to find out if it was truly sent from them before opening
the mail. If not, alert them that they may have a serious computer
virus. You should not open the mail but instead delete it from your in box
and empty your trash; just a precaution.
