'Very Funny' copycat emerges

A new variant of the "ILOVEYOU" virus is spreading, according to several sources.

An unknown copycat has created a new virus that may continue to spread by changing the name of the attached .vbs file to "Very Funny.vbs" and the subject of the email to "joke."

In all other respects, the virus appears to be the same.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Watch out for it.

I hope people will now be more cautious when recieving attached files. Including in emails they recieve from friends (who have them in their adressbook).

To be unable to take one's own enemies, accidents, and
misdeeds seriously for long -- that is the sign of strong and rich
natures. Such a man simply shakes off with one shrug much vermin
that would have buried itself deep into others; here alone is it also
possible -- assuming it is possible at all on earth -- that there be
real "love of one's enemies."
