Called Lovesan because of hidden message which says, “ I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!”

Spread by file transfer and effected Windows 2000 and XP (32 bit)

Is still in circulation

A fix was released within a week by Microsoft

500 to 800 people a week are still downloading anticode for the virus

The virus was a social attack at both Microsoft itself and anyone running off of Windows 2000 or XP (32 bit)

I believe the creator was out to send a personal message to Microsoft and Bill Gates

In the code there was another hidden message to Bill Gates which read, “Billy Gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money and fix your software!!”

If you were to get the Blaster Virus I would hope you would download the anticode from Microsoft
