I got it too, but fortunately it didn't do any damage beyond wasting far too much of my time deleting a bazillion stupid incoming emails. I suppose I should be happy to learn I'm in so many people's address books. ;-)

The *really* scary thing was seeing some random bubblebrained company secretary interviewed on our TV news coverage of the virus. "Oh, I saw we had dozens of these emails coming in, and of course I was suspicious, but I had to open just one of them because, you know, 'ILoveyou' *giggle* I had to just see what it was about, you know?"

I'm not saying people like this are *bad*, I'm just saying it should be illegal to be stupid.
