Last updated 5/18/00 5:34pm PST
SARC, in conjunction with other anti-virus vendors, has renamed
this worm from VBS.LoveLetter.FW.A to VBS.NewLove.A.
The VBS.NewLove.A is a worm, and spreads by sending itself to
all adressees in the Outlook address book when it is activated.
The attachment name is randomly chosen, but will always have a
.Vbs extension. The subject header will begin with "FW: " and will
include the name of the randomly chosen attachment (excluding
the .VBS extension) Upon each infection, the worm introduces up
to 10 new lines of randomly generated comments in order to
prevent detection.
Also known as: VBS/Loveletter.ed, VBS/Loveletter.Gen,
VBS_SPAMMER, VBS.Loveletter.FW.A
