This virus affects Windows 95, 98 and NT (w/ IE) users. Linux and Macintosh users are safe. It uses MS Outlook to spread. If you see a message titled "ILOVEYOU" or "LOVELETTERS", do NOT open the attachment; delete the email. If opened, the virus is set free and goes about corrupting/deleting image and sound files on your hard disk.

This virus also affects those who use mIRC for IRC Chatting.
