When a user opens the e-mail message, Word attachment infected with a virus Melissa will be sent to the first 50 names in the user's address book automatically.
2. Code Red

3. ILOVEYOU

The virus is accessing Outlook contact name from your list. If you see an e-mail message "I LOVE YOU" and open it, it will replicate itself and send messages to your contacts again. Recipients who do not know what's going to open the document which resulted in most of their files overwritten.
4. MyDoom
