The LoveLetter Virus Cleaner
The I-Worm.LoveLetter Virus Cleaner from Just Strategys is the first utility we've discovered that's been specifically designed to scan for and remove the LoveLetter family of viruses. This freeware utility has been updated constantly over the last few days as variant after variant of LoveLetter has hit the Web. At present, the LoveLetter Virus Cleaner detects and cleans the original virus as well as the following variants: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U, and V (take a look at Symantec's LoveLetter Web page for additional information on each of the variants).
Downloading, installing, and operating the LoveLetter Virus Cleaner is a quick and simple process. After installation and upon running the cleaner, you're presented with a dialog to scan and/or clean your computer. The cleaner will first scan your system to detect whether LoveLetter or one of its variants is present. If the scan is successful, the virus cleaner will proceed to remove the virus from your computer.
We haven't had the opportunity to remove LoveLetter using the LoveLetter Virus Cleaner, so we're not entirely sure how effective it is in restoring your computer to its previous state (i.e. before it contracted the virus). We will update this part of the review once we've been able to properly test this aspect of the cleaner in action.
