Just saw this on Drudge Email virus 'worse than lovebug' Anti-virus company MessageLabs says the Goner computer virus is spreading almost as fast as the lovebug virus. The company's anti-virus technologist, Alex Shipp, said the company saw 32,500 copies of the email screensaver stopped around the world. The email causes disruption through Microsoft Outlook and has a message which reads: "When I saw this screensaver I thought of you." Alex Shipp said the first copy they saw was from the US but added it may have originated in Europe. He said: "We have seen it coming from lots of companies in the UK and a lot of big ones have been badly affected." He said the cost to affected companies will be big because the email removes anti-virus software which will have to be replaced. Mr Shipp added the virus got a hold before software picked it up. He said: "It will be really big for the rest of today and perhaps for tomorrow, and then it will be over." Story filed: 20:38 Tuesday 4th December 2001
