The love virus

A file attachment called love screensaver is a virus that is sent through e-mails the files are (love.src friendship.scr true_love.src colour_of_life.scr funny.scr )
These are the e-mail letter sent with it

hi,
check the attached love screensaver
and feel the fragrance of true love..

Hi,

its really wonderfool..
i got it from freescreensavers.com

Hi,
check ur friends circle using the attached friendship screensaver..
check the attached screensaver
and if u like it send it to all those you consider
to be true friends... if it comes back to you then
you will know that you have a circle of friends..

Hey pal,
wanna have some fun in life... {BR>feel like life is too boring and monotonous..
check the attached screensaver and bring colours
to your black & white life..

Hi,
So you think you are in love..
is it true love ? you may think right now that you are in
true love but it is certainly possible that it is nothing
but a mere infatuation to you..

anyway to know yourself better than you have ever known check
the attached screensaver and feel the fragrance of true love..

SO WATCH OUT DONT OPEN ATTACHEMENTS EVEN IF MACAFEE SCANS IT AND DOESENT FIND VIRUSES THIS VIRUS BYPASSED MACAFEE. I think this virus screws up internet explore in modual Kernel32.dll and u will havta reinstall windows. Thanx

Yes. Thanks for the warning. I also received an email yesterday warning me of a virus, telling me how to find it, and using the supplied tool to remove it. It looked very official from Trend/Micro. Only thing is - it wasnt from Trend - it was a hoax trying to install a trojan horse. You can go to Trend's site for more info. Of course, I did not bite.
