Just after getting a warning from our Network Admin: there's a new virus doing the rounds that's apparently more damaging than the I LOVE YOU virus. Here's what he/she/it said:

Virus Alert

A new virus has appeared today. It comes in the form of an
e-mail message with the title "Forward Joke". If you receive
such a message, DO NOT OPEN IT!!!! Delete it at once. It
can cause damage to your PC. This virus is reported to be
more serious than the �I Love You� virus of yesterday.
Once again, do not open it !!!!

I heard about it. The entire computer network at where my dad works crashed because of it.
