A devastating VBS.LoveLetter.A virus that infects PCs and disables
mail servers has made its way to the US after crippling a number of
                organizations in Europe and Asia late last night. The
virus, which sends itself to everyone in a recipients address book
with the subject
                "ILOVEYOU," does not affect Mac users but can disable
the mail servers that they use. MacNN has received reports that
government
                agencies, including the Pentagon, have shut down a
number of mail servers to avoid this virus and expect other companies
and organizations
                to follow suit. Network Associates has posted an
update to protect PC users from the virus.
