‘Love Bug’ Virus Said Accidental: ‘a Filipino computer student said

today he may have accidentally released the “Love Bug” virus that crippled computer e-mail systems

worldwide.

The student, Onel A. de Guzman, who had been missing for several days, would not say whether he had

written the “ILOVEYOU” virus. De Guzman said he was unsure whether he had sent the virus into cyberspace.

But asked whether he might accidentally have done so, de Guzman replied, “It

is possible.”‘ (And if you believe this, I have a bridge I want to sell you cheap.)
