LoveLetter is the worm everyone learned to hate in spring 2000. The infection affected millions of computers and caused more damage than any other computer virus to date. Users were infected via e-mail, through internet chat systems, and through other shared file systems. The worm sent copies of itself via Microsoft Outlook's address book entries. The mail included an executable file attachment with the e-mail subject line, "ILOVEYOU." The worm had the ability to overwrite several types of files, including .gif and .jpg files. It modified the Internet Explorer start page and changed Registry keys. It also moved other files and hid MP3 files on affected systems. Visit Symantec's Security Response for instructions on how to remove LoveLetter.

What is the worst virus computer virus?

Well, since that (Conflicker) worm did nothing and was just a lie, the worst worm ever probably will be ILOVEYOU, or loveletter.This worm has a love message (love-letter-for-you.txt.vbs), which is the virus. When opened, this virus attacks and sends a copy of itself to all your friends and contracts.I'll also like to put the virus known as Slammer next to the Loveletter worm, as it is just a powerful. Why? It infected 80,000 computer in half an hour. So it's name, Slammer, lived up to it as being the fastest virus ever.
