    The ILOVEYOU virus was created in 2000 by Filipino student Onel de Guzman. It spread worldwide through an email attachment and caused major disruptions by deleting files and automatically spreading to others in recipients' email contacts. When opened, the attachment installed a virus that overwrote files and sent itself to everyone in the Outlook address book. It ultimately infected over 10 million computers and demonstrated how quickly email viruses can proliferate.

    ILOVEYOU VIRUS

    MALPAL JEY CEY B.


    DEFINITION
    ILOVEYOU WAS CREATED BY ONEL DE GUZMAN, A COLLEGE
    STUDENT IN MANILA, PHILIPPINES, WHO WAS 24 YEARS OLD AT THE
    TIME. DE GUZMAN, WHO WAS POOR AND STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR
    INTERNET ACCESS AT THE TIME, CREATED THE COMPUTER WORM
    INTENDING TO STEAL OTHER USERS' PASSWORDS, WHICH HE COULD
    USE TO LOG IN TO THEIR INTERNET ACCOUNTS WITHOUT NEEDING TO
    PAY FOR THE SERVICE. HE JUSTIFIED HIS ACTIONS ON HIS BELIEF
    THAT INTERNET ACCESS IS A HUMAN RIGHT, AND THAT HE WAS NOT
    ACTUALLY STEALING.
    DEFINITION
    THE ILOVEYOU VIRUS IS DELIVERED AS AN EMAIL WITH THE SUBJECT "ILOVEYOU" AND AN
    ATTACHMENT THAT, WHEN VIEWED, CAUSES THE MESSAGE TO BE RESENT TO EVERYONE IN THE
    RECIPIENT'S MICROSOFT OUTLOOK CONTACT BOOK. THOUGH MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT CAUSES
    ALL JPEG, MP3 AND OTHER FILES ON ALL RECEIVERS' HARD DRIVES TO BE DELETED. ILOVEYOU
    VIRUS IS ACTUALLY A WORM WHICH REPLICATES ITSELF AND SPREAD FROM SYSTEM TO
    SYSTEM WITHOUT HUMAN INTERACTION.
    THE ILOVEYOU VIRUS SPREADS THROUGH EMAIL. ONCE A PERSON OPENS THE ATTACHMENT,
    THE WORM IS AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADED INTO THE SYSTEM AND THEN SPREADS OVER THE
    NETWORK. IT WAS A VBSCRIPT PROGRAM WITH THE TEXT FILE EXTENSION OF .VBS THAT CAN
    DESTROY MANY TYPES OF FILES SUCH AS JPEG, MP3, JS, CSS, WSH AND HTA.
    CODE

    EXPLANATION:
    WHEN ILOVEYOU IS RUN, IT FIRST COPIES MSKERNEL32.VBS AND LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.VBS
    TO THE WINDOWS SYSTEM DIRECTORY. IT ALSO SAVES ITSELF AS WIN32DLL.VBS IN THE WINDOWS
    DIRECTORY.
    CODE

    EXPLANATION:

    IT REGISTERS ITSELF IN THE REGISTRY TO BE RUN WHEN THE SYSTEM IS RESTARTED.


    CODE

    EXPLANATION:
    THE WORM THEN REPLACES THE MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER HOME PAGE WITH A LINK TO
    WIN-BUGSFIX.EXE, AN EXECUTABLE APPLICATION. IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE FILE, THE WORM ADDS IT
    TO THE REGISTRY, FORCING THE SOFTWARE TO RUN WHEN YOU RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.
    THE ILOVEYOU VIRUS ALSO CHECKS FOR THE "WINFAT32“ TO MAKE IT ACTIVE EVERY TIME THE
    WINDOW STARTS.
    CODE

    EXPLANATION:
    THE VIRUS THEN SCANS ALL FOLDERS ON ALL LOCAL AND DISTANT DISKS FOR SPECIFIC FILE TYPES
    AND OVERWRITES THEM WITH ITS OWN CODE. THE FILES THAT ARE REWRITTEN CONTAIN THE
    EXTENSIONS.VBS OR.VBE. FOR ALL FILES WITH THE FOLLOWING
    EXTENSIONS:.JS,.JSE,.CSS,.WSH,.SCT, AND.HTA, THE VIRUS WILL PRODUCE A NEW FILE WITH THE
    SAME NAME BUT A.VBS EXTENSION AND ERASE THE ORIGINAL.
    CODE

    EXPLANATION:
    ALL FILES WITH THE EXTENSIONS.JPG,.JPEG,.MP3, AND.MP2 GET A NEW FILE ADDED NEXT TO THEM,
    AND THE ORIGINAL GETS DELETED. THE VIRUS, FOR EXAMPLE, WILL PRODUCE A NEW FILE CALLED
    PIC.JPG.VBS AND ERASE THE ORIGINAL FOR A PHOTO NAMED PIC.JPG.
    CODE

    EXPLANATION:
    THIS IS THE CODE FOR THE SENDING THE ILOVEYOU VIRUS
    FROM ONE COMPUTER TO ANOTHER THROUGH AN EMAIL.
    CODE

    EXPLANATION:
    THIS IS THE CODE FOR THE SENDING THE ILOVEYOU VIRUS
    FROM ONE COMPUTER TO ANOTHER THROUGH AN EMAIL.
    HOW THUS THIS VIRUS
    PENETRATES COMPUTER?
    THE VIRUS WAS SPREAD THROUGH AN E-MAIL ATTACHMENT DESIGNED TO
    PROPAGATE THE VIRUS MESSAGE AUTOMATICALLY THROUGHOUT AN AGENCY'S GLOBAL
    EMAIL ADDRESS DIRECTORY. UNSUSPECTING USERS WHO OPENED THE ATTACHMENT.

    THE ILOVEYOU VIRUS COMES IN AN EMAIL WITH "ILOVEYOU" IN THE SUBJECT LINE AND
    CONTAINS AN ATTACHMENT THAT, WHEN OPENED, RESULTS IN THE MESSAGE BEING RE-SENT
    TO EVERYONE IN THE RECIPIENT'S MICROSOFT OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK. PERHAPS MORE
    SERIOUSLY, IT RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF EVERY JPEG, MP3 AND
    CERTAIN OTHER FILES ON ALL RECIPIENTS' HARD DISKS
    WHAT WILL BE THE POSSIBLE
    EFFECTS?

    COMPUTERS ON AND AFTER 5 MAY 2000 WHEN IT STARTED SPREADING AS AN EMAIL
    MESSAGE WITH THE SUBJECT LINE "ILOVEYOU" AND THE ATTACHMENT "LOVE-LETTERFOR-
    YOU.TXT.VBS" THE LATTER FILE EXTENSION ('VBS'), A TYPE OF INTERPRETED
    FILE), WAS MOST OFTEN HIDDEN BY DEFAULT ON WINDOWS COMPUTERS OF THE TIME
    (AS IT IS AN EXTENSION FOR A FILE TYPE THAT IS KNOWN BY WINDOWS), LEADING
    UNWITTING USERS TO THINK IT WAS A NORMAL TEXT FILE. OPENING THE ATTACHMENT
    ACTIVATES THE VISUAL BASIC SCRIPT.
    WHAT WILL BE THE POSSIBLE
    EFFECTS?

    THE WORM INFLICTS DAMAGE ON THE LOCAL MACHINE, OVERWRITING RANDOM TYPES
    OF FILES (INCLUDING OFFICE FILES, IMAGE FILES, AND AUDIO FILES;
    HOWEVER, AFTER OVERWRITING MP3 FILES THE VIRUS HIDES THE FILE), AND SENDS
    A COPY OF ITSELF TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE WINDOWS ADDRESS BOOK USED BY
    MICROSOFT OUTLOOK. THIS MADE IT SPREAD MUCH FASTER THAN ANY OTHER PREVIOUS
    EMAIL WORM .
