We have it at my company as well as many others in the UK.  It overwrites
and renames picture and sound files (e.g. test.jpg becomes test.jpg.vbs) and
mails itself to everyone in your address book.  Possibly less likelyhood of
forward transmission from those of us with dial-up connections.  If you get
an 'I Love You' don't open or double-click the attachment.
