Lionel,

Thanks for your info,

Try to avoid "Virus warning" as ref. since it is another variant of
LoveLetter :

-----------------------------------------------
 Dangerous Virus Warning
   There is a dangerous virus circulating.
   Please click attached picture to view it and learn to avoid it.
 virus_warning.jpg.vbs
-----------------------------------------------

I didn't found "Cuvuxeu" but there are plenty of variants which re-use file
names such as "Cuvuxeu.gif " and rename them with .vbs suffix without
removing previous one, so we get "Cuvuxeu.gif.vbs" .
Since all these variants are written as Visual Basic Scripts, it is highly
recommended to never open any .vbs attachment unless you are really sure of
what's inside.
And even more if with this kind of dual suffix such as ".gif.vbs" or
".jpg.vbs" !!
