Yes, and I had it hit here TWICE and both times my anti-virii
stuff bounced it (by screaming bloody murder and NOT
allowing me to get near opening that email--[ILOVEYOU])
However, this latest thing, I have not found one shred. Although
I don't use Outlook 5.x either. I'm told if you had a late version of
it the code that was imbedded merely tried to turn on or do
some command and that it was not a full virus, but would
activate anti-virus software because of that.
Anyway, I miss my little ones. :( I know my gerbils and hamsters
went to an excellent home though. :)
