ILOVEYOU. virus

There is a new computer virus going around, both here at Duke and outside. I
unfortunately opened a file from a staff person at the American Orthotic and
Prosthetic Association, so I suspect I have the virus. It replicates itself by
accessing one's email address book and sending itself to all in the book. If
you receive an email from me or anyone with ILOVE YOU. attached, delete the file
immediately. I am sorry for any problems this might have caused.
Incidentally, we have a computer solution person who deleted the files off my
computer and eliminated the virus before any significant problems were caused.
I did lose some jpg files though. If you need support or assistance, feel free
to call and I will provide this persons name and phone number.
