Pardon me for sending this warning message.
The file attachment to an email with a subject line "ILOVEYOU" is a Visual
Basic Script that renames files on your machine - among other things.
This is a real email worm - not just another prank warning!
For confirmation, look at Symantec's Alert :
http://vsnet.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.loveletter.a.html
"VBS.LoveLetter.A is an email worm, mIRC worm, and a file infector.
VBS.LoveLetter.A will use Microsoft Outlook and email itself out as an
attachment with the above subject line and attachment name."
Be warned!
