Hi everyone.  This was email to me from the Tech Services Department here at
work.  Thought you might be interested.

> A new virus is rapidly spreading world-wide.  We've already confirmed that
at least two Forum people have received the infected e-mail.  Our anti-virus
software does not protect against this yet--so please read the following
information about the virus so you can delete the message without opening
it.
>
> A computer virus spread by e-mail messages bearing the title "I Love You"
spread through European, UK, and Asian businesses Thursday afternoon, and
appeared to be quickly tainting computer systems world-wide. If the
attachment holding the virus is opened, the virus apparently multiplies by
finding other e-mail addresses and prompting the computer to generate new
e-mail. Victims sometimes receive dozens of e-mail messages, all
contaminated with the virus.
> The virus, which appeared in Hong Kong late Thursday afternoon, seemed to
particularly hit, among other businesses, public relations firms and
investment banks. Dow Jones and the Asian Wall Street Journal offices in
Asia were among its victims.
> In Hong Kong, Nomura International Ltd. is receiving the e-mail virus, an
analyst said. The virus has created a lot of damage in Nomura's London
office, he said. "It just multiplies through the system and eradicates whole
address books," the analyst said.
> Please take this virus seriously.  We will update you when we have more
information and get the protection updates pushed out as soon as they are
available.  Please contact the helpdesk immediately if you receive a
suspicious e-mail.
