Before you do anything today... READ THIS STORY 
A new computer virus is proliferating at rapid speed across Europe and has
already felled at least three UK businesses according to a number of
reports. 
According to these early reports, the virus is contained within an email
headed: I LOVE YOU, and is contained within an attachment called... A Love
Letter For You. 
Symantec Anti-Virus laboratories confirms the virus is propagating furiously
and says that four "major European corporations" had serious difficulties
with their email systems due to this virus. Symantec is, however, unable to
confirm whether the virus has a destructive payload. 
A spokeswoman says, "It seems to be very widespread. We've had reports from
a lot of customers across the UK and Europe. We're currently working on a
fix and hope to have one ready within the hour." 
Users are advised to delete this email immediately
