VIRUS ALERT

A new virus has been detected and is currently in the wild.  This virus is
known as VBS/Newlove.

The VBS.NewLove.A is a worm, and spreads by sending itself to all addresses
in the Outlook address book when it is activated.  The attachment name is
randomly chosen, but will always have a .Vbs extension.
DO NOT OPEN THIS OR ANY .VBS FILE.
The subject header of the message will begin with "FW: " and will include
the name of the randomly chosen attachment (excluding the .VBS extension).
Upon each infection, the worm introduces up to 10 new lines of randomly
generated comments in order to prevent detection.
