Me acaban de notificar de Symantec que ya van 19 variantes del love letter,
la �ltima de las cuales no la detecta la actualizaci�n del 5 de mayo. Sali�
otra hoy.
Y ojo, que una de las variantes ( la G) aparece como remitida por Symantec,
con el subject "VIRUS ALERT!!!". Esta variante borra todos los .bat y .com

Del bolet�n:
"Over the weekend, additional variants of the worm were discovered
bringing the total count to 19. One of these variants falsely claimed
to come from Symantec technical support. As a result of this, we are
asking that you open your news bulletins in text-only format, rather
than in HTML format. This will ensure that any link seen in this
newsletter has not been tampered with. We are also evaluating ways to
digitally sign these news bulletins to ensure their authenticity.

Finally, it has been discovered that the latest variant,
VBS.LoveLetter.S, is not being detected with the 5/5/00 virus
definitions. A new set of definitions was released today that will
detect all variants of this worm. Run LiveUpdate to update your virus
definitions."

De http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.loveletter.alert.html:
 "The Symantec AntiVirus Research Center currently detects the following
variants of VBS.LoveLetter.A:

VBS.LoveLetter.A (LoveLetter)
VBS.LoveLetter.B (Lithuanian)
VBS.LoveLetter.C (VeryFunny)
VBS.LoveLetter.D (BugFix)
VBS.LoveLetter.E (MothersDay)
VBS.LoveLetter.F (VirusWarning)
VBS.LoveLetter.G (Virus ALERT!!!)
VBS.LoveLetter.H (No Comments)
VBS.LoveLetter.I (Important! Read carefully!!)
VBS.LoveLetter.J
VBS.LoveLetter.K
VBS.LoveLetter.L (I Can't Believe This!!)
VBS.LoveLetter.M (Arab Air)
VBS.LoveLetter.N (Variant Test)
VBS.LoveLetter.O (same as variant A)
VBS.LoveLetter.P (Yeah Yeah)
VBS.LoveLetter.Q (LOOK!)
VBS.LoveLetter.R (Bewerbung)
VBS.LoveLetter.S (same as variant A)

The variant named VBS.LoveLetter.G (Virus ALERT!!!) that includes the
subject line "Virus ALERT!!!" poses as a message from Symantec technical
support. In addition to damage caused by the LoveLetter, VBS.LoveLetter.G
(Virus ALERT!!!) deletes .bat and .com files. This message is NOT being
distributed by Symantec and should be deleted immediately."
