The LOVELETTER worm is real, my partners site is hammered by it.

I got a copy of it today on the shell account <where it's harmless>
and it likely can hurt me much if at all on the NTbox (you need those
virus/worm/trogan helpers like active-x).

No a desktop system at work does not need active-x nor does it need
hotmail/instant-messenger (or chat, netmeeting to name a few more).
