Clone of 'Melissa' virus infects the Internet
Promising help in the mating game, a new Trojan virus similar to the "Melissa" bug is proliferating quickly across the Internet, computer security specialists cautioned this week.
The sneaky worm, disguised as a love matching program, spreads via e-mail, sending itself as an attachment twice to all addresses in an infected user's Windows Address book, according to Trend Micro. Often distributed as e-mail attachments, Trojan viruses are harmful programs disguised as something innocuous.
The subject line is usually "Matcher" and the misspelled message text is: "Want to find your love mates!!!/ Try this its cool.../ Looks and Attitude maching to opposite sex."
