I Love You Worm

No Comments

It is perhaps the most widely-known worm in all history of worms. It struck the computer world in 2001, and infected a big number of computers all over the world.
I Love You Worm spreads through email as an attachment to the letters. But the text of the letters seems so nice and sweet that users opens an attachment without even thinking that there could be a virus. The text of e-mail may contain words like ‘I love you’ and everything that is similar to that. So, if you get such a letter with an attachment from unknown person, do not open the attachement!
This worm spreads very fast, because when it gets to the system, it immediately sends its copies to all the addresses from the Outlook Express address book. It also harms the system, by copying itself in the system folder and writing its information to the registry. It may also harm some of your files, for example *.mp3 files.
This worm has plenty of variants, so be careful with it. The filenames may be different from listed here.
