[ILUG] Basic virus protection

[John Kelly]

For a simple (all meanings of the word) fix to protect your mail server from
the virus, go to

Just change the string it searches the subject for to read ILOVEYOU.
This'll only last as long as it takes for someone to modify the script, but
at least by then you should have had time to recover.
