Having been infected, I can confirm that this virus poses a serious threat. 
Although not overtly malicious, Melissa can bring a company's e-mail server to
it's knees.  Imagine if everyone in your organisation started sending 50
e-mails at a time.  It took an upgrade of our virus protection software and
almost a week to clean the entire system and during that time we were unable to
send MS Office documents by e-mail for fear of infecting the recipients.

Take this warning seriously.
