A variant of yesterdays I LOVE YOU-worm is spreading on the second day of the biggest world-wide virus attack
It's called Joke ( In subject field: fwd Joke) instead of I LOVE YOU. the attachment is changed from 'LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.VBS' to 'Very Funny.vbs'
It works just like I LOVE YOU. Don't open the attachment, but delete it imediately
It infects Win9x, Win2000 or WinNT or if you have installed Visual Script Engine which is a part of IE5 and a default part of Win98 and Win2000 or if you have installed some sort of option pack containing this VB Engine
The virus can only be send to others if you are using Outlook or Exchange

A suggestion most major virus programs now have a fix for this virus Keep your virus software updated most software offers weekly updates It will be come more important more virus programs being written everyday Be very careful if you take part in chat rooms because an infected person can pass the virus through chat rooms
