Deryck Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Does she use Symantec Norton Anti-Virus, then she must update her virus definitions now, using Live Update. Symantec has released a removeal tool for that virus, called VBS.LoveLetter, and it can be downloaded from this website: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data...loveletter.html. Read the instructions carefully. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
