[b]ILOVEYOU Virus Strikes The World[/b]
The virus was first reported in Hong Kong and spread gradually west as a new day dawned, infecting government and business computers. Anti-virus companies in the United States fielded thousands of calls from corporate customers reporting widespread infections.
Two anti-virus companies, Symantec, which makes Norton Anti-Virus, and F-Secure, have developed posted "virus definition" files for the "ILOVEYOU" virus, which is currently known to spread through the Microsoft Outlook e-mail program and through a popular Internet Relay Chat program. Those files have so-called "fingerprints" for the virus, allowing those programs to detect and eliminate it.
