Tainted love

Article Abstract:

The fastest moving, hardest hitting, most widespread computer virus to emerge originated in Asia, possibly from the Philippines, on May 4, 2000, and infected computers across Europe, North and South America. It is believed to be many times worse than the Melissa virus that devastated computer systems in 1999. The virus is called the love bug and spread so quickly because it is presented in electronic mail designed to appear like a love letter, and uses human gullibility to open, activate and help spread the virus. It forced innumerable companies including many corporate giants and government organizations worldwide to shut down their electronic mail systems.
