What are warning symptom of Melissa virus?

Answer 1

You will receive an email like below.

1. It may be from someone you know. But they don't know they sent it.

2. The subject line will read, "Important Message From" and the name may be someone you know.

3. The body of the mail will read, "Here is that document you asked for don't show anyone else ;-)"

4. The attachment, where this nasty little bug lives, has the name of list.doc.

The program sends itself from the email addresses of people who are likely to be familiar contacts, arriving as email with the subject line "Important message from..." followed by the sender's name. The body says "Here is that document you asked for ... don't show anyone else ;-)." The email includes an attached Word file "list.doc," which includes the porn sites' addresses. The virus doesn't appear to cause any damage to infected computers except in rare cases when the minutes of the current time match the date--for example at 2:45 p.m. on June 15. In this instance, the virus will insert the Bart Simpson quotation, "Twenty-two points, plus triple-word-score, plus fifty points for using all my letters. Game's over. I'm outta here" into a user's active document.
