The NewLove VBS viral worm spreads by attached .VBS files like ILOVEYOU.
Does anyone have other URLs for fixes for this? It almost completely destroys files on the target PC. Better have backups, folks!
It began spreading 05/18. It composes a blank MS Outlook email with the subject “FW: filename.ext” with the attachment “filename.ext.vbs”. The filename used is taken from the infected user’s Recently Used File list. This email is sent to everyone in the infected user’s Outlook Address book. Then the Worm destroys every file not in use at the time.
Another pretty good argument for using Eudora from http://www.eudora.com for your email.

http://www.ontrack.com has fixes for Fix-It 99 and System Suite 2000.
http://www.symantec.com has fixes for Norton Anti-Virus.
From Symantec’s AntiVirus Center this URL must be one line without spaces in your address window. VBS.NewLove.A is a newer name for the same viral worm.
