I'd say it is one, since it propagates itself. It isn't just a trojan horse. But I gather that it doesn't do some of the things traditional viruses do, like attaching itself to executable files, writing to the boot sector, or modifying normal.dot like a Word macro virus. According to some website I don't currently have handy, Norton is working on some sort of fix. But could such a virus be detected by a typical anti-virus program?

>>In case you haven't been bit yet, there is an email going around called the European I Love You Virus. It's not really a virus, but send out emails to everyone in your contact list as soon as you open the attachment. The contents say "a love letter to you" or something similiar. Don't open the attacment. It's killing our email servers so be carefull.
