I copied and pasted a part of ABCNEWS about the new virus which
is out.  To read the whole article go to URL:

Stop the Spread
                  The Love Bug, Killer Resume, NewLove, and Stages
                  viruses all hijack Windows Scripting Host, a part of
                  Windows that lets programs manipulate each other
                  without a user’s knowledge. Very few people need
                  Scripting Host in their day-to-day lives, according to
                  Richard Jacobs of the antiviral company, Sophos, and
                  turning it off stops computers from spreading the viruses.
                       In Windows 98, that means going to your Start Menu
                  and choosing Settings, then Control Panel. Double-click
                  on the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Choose the
                  Windows Components or Windows Setup option, and
                  then double-click on the Accessories option. Uncheck
                  the box for Windows Scripting Host, which should be the
                  last one on the list.
                       But the number one way to keep yourself safe,
                  antiviral experts agree, is to scrutinize e-mail closely.
