> And now for something completely scarier: my co-workers and I were talking this morning about how an evil genius would take advantage of the spread of this virus to spread another email, labeled something like "How to get rid of the ILOVEYOU virus," with instructions to click on the attachment to automatically remove the virus and restore the system to its original pristine state. Of course, the "cure" would simply be another malicious script. And ya know what? Turns out that someone had already done just that, and our IT people had caught several virus-laden emails, titled "Cure for the ILOVEYOU virus", coming into the company's email system.

No, no. What you do is send out a message with the subject line "Virus Warning". Everyone reads it and BOOM!
