Lingling, I think I've done it again!
|
Lingling: |
What do you mean? What do you think you've
done again? |
Victor: |
I think I've messed up my computer again. |
Lingling: |
You weren't downloading unauthorized software
again, were you? |
Victor: |
No. This time it was an unusual email
with an attachment. It was from somebody named "Lucy"
with the subject "I Love You" but there was
nothing in the attached file. |
Lingling: |
Do you know someone with the name "Lucy"? |
Victor: |
No, but I was so excited to get an email
with the subject "I Love You" that I didn't
pay any attention to who it was from. |
Lingling: |
That's a problem. It was probably the
Love Bug virus. |
Victor: |
What should I do? |
Lingling: |
The Love Bug virus is pretty serious.
I'll run some anti-virus software on your computer and try to clean it off. In the meantime, Victor, remember
not to open any attached files in an email unless you
know for sure who the person is that sent the email,
and that you were supposed to receive an attached file.
It's also a good idea to have your anti-virus software
running whenever you open email. |
