the "love letter" scriptworm is real people. Just so you know, it effects people using Microsoft Outlook or it's varients. it infects your computer when you open an e-mail attachment named LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT

so, word to the wise.....don't.

(I know this because our system has been infected and I am battling it right now)

Another real worm to be aware of comes in an attachment named PrettyPark.exe. I recently received it, but fortunately did not open it. A check of reputable sites that check viruses shows that both PrettyPark and Love Letter are real, and dangerous.
