This made me think of the possibility that the I Love You virus could affect
other systems. Does the virus only rename files on the host drive or can it
spread to a hardfile mounted on Windows desktop or network connections? If
someone wrote a virus that had this possibility it could wipe out all
machines. If you were monitoring the machines at the time the Ethernet hub
would light up like a Christmas tree. But what would happen if, like many
people you leave the machine on all day. Suddenly the Amiga, Mac, Atari, and
whatever you have connected to a network don't seem so safe...
