ISLANDIA, N.Y. -- Computer experts are warning of two new strains of the "I Love You" Worm have been discovered in the wild.
Computer Associates International, Inc., reports the first is VBS/LoveLetter.J, which includes the subject line "LOOK!" and the body text "hehe ... check this out" with the attachment named LOOK.vbs. The second new strain is the VBS/LoveLetter.K with the subject line "Thank You For Flying With Arab Airlines" and the body text "Please check if the bill is correct, by opening the attached file" with an attachment ArabAir.TXT.vbs.
Officials with CA say the newest variants, VBS/LoveLetter.J and VBS/LoveLetter.K, are far more dangerous to computer users than the previous versions because they destroy the executable files that allow programs to run. This is in addition to the prior variants that only overwrote media files. They say users should look out for these subject lines and delete all e-mail with this text.

If you use Norton Antivirus here is a link to a file that will remove the virus/worm for you. Please read everything before you use it.
