The first virus has been spreading since March 20, 2002, though, slowly.
The virus is potentially dangerous. The virus is dubbed "MyLife."
W32.MyLife.B@mm is a mass-mailing worm that uses Microsoft Outlook to spread
to all addresses in the Outlook address book. It copies itself to C:\Windows
\System\Cari.scr and may delete files, depending on the system time. This
has been classified as a Category 3 virus.

The second virus, W32.Cervivec.A@mm, as of March 22, 2002, is a mass-mailing
worm that is written in Delphi. The worm is packed with a known runtime
compression program. When executed, the worm attempts to find email
addresses belonging to contacts in the ICQ contact list, and then to send
email to them. Thiis a low impact virus with medium distribution.
