Here is a link to a description of this virus. Its a variant of
the I LOVE YOU virus. Bottom line, don't open emails with
vbscript, turn off windows scripting, etc. There was no
reference to a cure once you get it.
One of the nasty things it does is replace all your scripts (vb,
js, etc) with copies of itself. Pretty extensive stuff. Unless
some kind of fix is posted to www.sans.org or some other trusted
location, your best bet is a reinstall from read-only media :-(
