If you're ever in doubt about a virus warning, go to either www.mcafee.com
or www.symantec.com - both of these are reputable antivirus companies with
info on both real and hoax viruses. Both of them have a warning about the
ILOVEYOU worm (it's different from a virus, but just as bad) on their front
pages today. Warning - you may have trouble getting through to the antivirus
sites today. I suspect they're overloaded by people looking for info on
this.
