Virus heads-up

Heads up on a new virus - ILOVEYOU

I'm sure you've heard about it already, but you may wish to block 
www.skyinet.net (206.101.197.226) at your borders, as that is where it 
fetches part of the actual virus code from:

132.185.x.y - - [04/May/2000:10:23:14 +0100] "GET http://www.skyinet.net/~y
oung1s/HJKhjnwerhjkxcvytwertnMTFwetrdsfmhPnjw6587345gvsdf7679njbvYT/WIN-BUG
SFIX.exe HTTP/1.0"

Other than that, it looks like just another Melissa.
