NEW YORK, May 19—A new, more destructive version of the “Love Bug ” virus is slowly spreading across the world, but so far the damage is small compared with its former version.
The new Love Bug virus creates disorder.
Richard Saunders of anti-viral firm Symantec said the virus only affected a dozen companies around the world.
“While it is a nasty virus, it’s not spreading anywhere near the rate Love But or (last year’s ) Melissa was spreading,” Saunders said.
“New Love” is similar in form to the Love Bug, which swept the world two weeks ago and caused more than $ 10 million in damages. But it’s much more destructive. The virus appears as an attachment to an e-mail whose subject begins with “FW”
If a user clicks on the attachment’s scroll-like icon(卷轴样的图标), every file on his hard drive is destroyed.
“Basically, it’s going to destroy your machine, ” said Eric Chine, chief researcher at Symantec’s anti-virus lad in the Netherlands.
The Love Bug only killed a small set of files, including graphic files. This virus even wipes out the Windows operating system.
Attorney General Janet Reno warned the public at a news conference today to be careful of any suspicious e-mail with attachments. “Do not open it, even it comes from a trusted source.” she said.
Don’t Open That Attachments.
Like the Love Bug, after the e-mail attachment is opened and the virus is carried out, New Love sends itself to everyone in a victim’s Microsoft Outlook address book. Fortunately for users, the lesson is the same as from the Love Bug: If you see a message with an attachment whose name ends in vbs, with a scroll-like icon, don’t click on the attachment. Also like the Love Bug, this virus only affects computers running Windows 98, NT 4.0 Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 5.0 and can only spread if users rely on a Microsoft Outlook address book for e-mail. Microsoft will soon give a fix for Outlook that warns people or suspicious attachments, the company said.
68. According to the passage, so far the new Love Bug virus _________.
A. has made the whole world disordered     
B. causes more damages than other forms of virus
C. is the newest and spreading the fastest 
D. has affected 12 companies around the world
69. Computer users are warned in this article _________.
A. not to suspect e-mails beginning with “FW” subjects
B. not to open attachment of doubtful e-mails
C. to stop using Microsoft Outlook address book
D. to examine the Windows Operating System carefully
70. It can be suggested from the passage that _________.
A. the mail sent by a friend is surely free of the virus 
B. the Microsoft Company will take action against the virus
C. all computers running Windows 98 will be affected
D. the users can not find the way to deal with the Love Bug.
71. The author writes this passage in order to _________.
A. compare some types of virus                        
B. explain how the Love Bug is formed
C. tell the readers something about a new virus   
D. remind computer companies to kill the virus
