                  On Thursday, saying "ILOVEYOU" was
                  especially hard to do. A self-propagating
                  computer worm has infected computers in Asia,
                  Europe and the United States. 

                  Computer experts said they were stunned by
                  the speed and wide reach of the virus -- which
                  struck members of U.S. Congress and British
                  parliament -- and warned computer users not to
                  open the "Love Letter" attachment that comes
                  with the contaminated e-mail. 

                  "It appears to be the same sort of class of virus
                  as Melissa," the e-mail virus that overwhelmed
                  computer systems around the world about a
                  year ago, said Bill Pollack, spokesman for the
                  CERT Coordination Center in Pittsburgh, a
                  government-chartered computer security team.
