It's great that I don't have to worry about these things... and I don't even have a virus scanner. The last major Mac virus was in 1998, and that was spread on infected CDs.

ILOVEYOU Virus for the Mac

Congratulations! You now have the ILOVEYOU virus for the Macintosh!



This virus works on the honor system.



You will have to do the following:
1. Please randomly delete some of the files in your System Folder.
2. Forward this email to other Mac users.

Just checked my e-mail and had to delete another one. My e-mail is forwarded to a second account, I guess I have to block it on the second account as well as the first.

That Microsoft virus is proliferating. I was getting minimum of 2 a day from support@microsoft.com, which of course I would delete without opening. Now I am getting similar viruses from other people who have obviously opened their "microsoft" e-mail and it is now being sent to everyone in their address book. The last two e-mails were from known contacts, the subject lines were "Re: 45443-343556" and "Cool screensaver" and there was an attachment.
