WARNING
This information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL states
that this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa", and that
there is NO remedy for it at this time. Some very sick individual has
succeeded in using the reformat function from Norton Utilities causing
it to completely erase all documents on the hard drive. It has been
designed to work with Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer. It destroys Macintosh and IBM compatible computers. This is a
new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it.
Please ignore any messages regarding this "hoax" and do not pass on any
messages regarding it. Passing on messages about this hoax serves only to
further propagate it.
