Yes, they both entice user to run the worm/trojan.
The difference here is...
Once the user has run ILOVEYOU worm, it copies itself as multiple files on the host machine *and* uses Outlook to self propogate to other peoples machines.
When the user runs Gnutella VBS trojan, it copies itself as multiple files on the host machine, does not send itself to others. It is merely *available* to others via Gnutella.
