Subject: Re: [motm] Watch out for the I LOVE YOU virus

From: Nathan Hunsicker <nate@...>

One thing you must be careful of, even if you do remove the worm. after a
reboot the worm will download a file from a server in the philippinescalled
WIN-BUGFIX.EXE, this file is another worm used to collect IP and password
data from your computer and email it back to the creator of this worm. This
is similar but not the same as the clarissa virus, And users of Lotus Notes
and other non MS mail programs still have to worry about the other effects.
