Hi All:
THIS APPLIES ONLY TO YOUR OWN HOME PERSONAL COMPUTER(S). Don't try it on
your company's computer without the company's consent.
>From Toronto Star (May 11):
"Love Letter worm and the variants all use Microsoft's Visual Basic Script
(VBScript) to perform their dirty work. VBScript is a cross application
language that helps automate procedures. If you don't use VBScript, then
allowing it to run on your PC presents a security hole. To quickly plug
this hole, remove VBScript from your list of file types..."
>From F-Secure website:

http://www.f-secure.com/virus-info/u-vbs/uninstall-vbs.html (for Windows 98)
http://www.f-secure.com/virus-info/u-vbs/remove-vbs-w2k.html (for Windows
2000)
http://www.f-secure.com/virus-info/u-vbs/remove-vbs-nt4.html (for Windows NT)
Hopefully, by removing the VBScript (which I did 5 minutes ago), you'd have
some measure against being infected by Love Bug virus and its variants,
which are still growing on a daily basis... (last count: 23)
Good luck!
