Lingling, I think I've done it again!
|
Lingling: |
What do you mean? What do you think you've
done again? |
Victor: |
I think I've messed up my computer again. |
Lingling: |
You weren't downloading unauthorized software
again, were you? |
Victor: |
No. This time it was an unusual e-mail
with an attachment. It was from somebody named "Lucy"
with the subject "I Love You" but there was
nothing in the attached file. |
Lingling: |
Do you know someone with the name "Lucy"? |
Victor: |
No, but I was so excited to get an e-mail
with the subject "I Love You" that I didn't
pay any attention to who it was from. |
Lingling: |
That's a problem. It was probably the
Love Bug virus. |
Victor: |
What should I do? |
Lingling: |
The Love Bug virus is pretty serious.
I'll run some anti-virus software on your computer to
try and clean it off. In the meantime, Victor, remember
not to open any attached files in an e-mail unless you
know for sure who the person is that sent the e-mail,
and that you were supposed to receive an attached file.
It's also a good idea to have your anti-virus software
running whenever you open e-mail. |
