This virus is in the wild now, and is definitely hitting many folks. I am on
multiple mailing lists, and the majority of them are reporting hits. We (USPS)
have been hit, although it is not really wide spread in our organization yet.
There are companies out there that can detect this virus, and there is already a
minor variant in the wild. Check out the following link for more info. I don't
know if Sophos has a plug-in for any firewalls though.
Name: VBS/LoveLet-A
Aliases: The Love Bug
Type: Visual Basic Script worm
Detection: Detected by Sophos Anti-Virus version 3.34 or later. An update (IDE
file) is available for earlier versions from the Latest virus identities
section.

It is VB Script and can be safely viewed with any text editor. The bad thing
is that this message has no attachments, so it passes trough my AV software
which unfortunately checks every incoming E-mail message, but only if it has
attachments. Now I am actively looking for AV package which is parsing the
text in messages as well.
Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards.
