@ APOCALYPSE REVEALED. Prophecies about things to come are explained in
everyday language. A collection of visions from different prophets in
different countries and different times clearly paint an era of a man
who will declare himself as the savior of the world. What starts out as
a conversation overheard, ends up in the most significant battle of all
time. Events in the Apocalypse are already unfolding, and are explained
here so that you might understand and prepare. Drop your cox and grab
your sox. http://members.xoom.com/Apocalypse23/
: Are you ready for Armageddon? Have you seen the signs, heeded the signs,
repainted the signs? Have you ever been to Megiddo, Israel? Is it spooky?

Y2K-a-Rama:
# Y2K - FBI TO ROUND UP BLACKS: Already reeling from accusations of lying
about its actions at Waco, the FBI is about to face an explosive round
of allegations about Y2K. A nine-year veteran of the bureau has decided
to speak out about the FBI's "Mad Max" Y2K plan and alleged targeting
of blacks. http://www.y2knewswire.com/19990922br.htm

http://washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/business/feed/a27588-1999sep22.htm
# Y2K AND WACO. As new evidence points to a six-year government cover-up of
military events at Waco, the obvious question becomes, "What else are they
lying about?" Y2K, of course. In this article, we take a close look at the
govt pattern of "receding denials" and other similarities between the two
historical events. http://www.y2knewswire.com/19990907waco.htm

# Y2K - U.S. Companies Confident On Y2K Compliance:
http://news.excite.com/news/r/990923/02/tech-yk-companies
# Y2K - HOPING FOR THE WORST. The US govt wants you to believe only "hate
groups" and "zealots" want Y2K to be a worst-case event. In fact, several
prominent politicians and government offices stand to gain tremendous
political power (and increased funding) if Y2K disruptions turn out to be
severe. Find out who may be rooting for the worst while telling Americans
to plan for the best. http://www.y2knewswire.com/19990902w.htm

# Y2K - US NAVY DOC SPIN. Y2K Newswire finds a major logical flaw in the

Y2K Deniers find themselves pleading with you to believe they think like
alarmists. http://www.y2knewswire.com/19990823nav.htm

# Y2K SAFETY VS NUCLEAR PROFITS. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is do-
ing everything possible to ensure public safety during the Y2K rollover,
right? Wrong. They won't even require nuclear power plants to be Y2K
compliant. See why one reporter called them the, "Nuclear Promotional
Agency." http://www.y2knewswire.com/19990913safet.htm

CHRISTMAS and Y2K VIRUS, TROJAN, and HOAX WATCH:
# TROJ_Y2KCOUNT -- (Fake email from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) The TROJ_Y2KCOUNT
virus is distributed in a fake email from Microsoft that claims it to be a
Microsoft Year 2000 Counter. On execution of the Y2KCOUNT.EXE file, which
is attached to an email message apparently from [EMAIL PROTECTED],
TROJ_Y2KCOUNT displays the following WINZIP error message:
"Password protection error or invalid CRC32!"
TROJ_Y2KCOUNT then drops several files to the Windows System directory, it
modifies the SYSTEM.INI file, and overwrites the WSOCK32.DLL file in order
to intercept password, login, and username information.

# TROJ_FIX2001 -- TROJ_FIX2001 is an email worm, that claims to fix the Y2K
Internet Connection problem. However, instead of doing a system check,
TROJ_FIX2001 copies itself to the Windows system folder and modifies the
Windows registry. Once an infected system is rebooted, TROJ_FIX2001 starts
to spread itself in a second email, which follows every outgoing message.
http://antivirus.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=TROJ_FIX2001
# LUMP OF COAL -- (Fake email warning) Just like many other hoaxes, the Lump
of Coal hoax claims to warn users about an email message, which may arrive
on December 25th. According to the hoax, the email contains a destructive
virus which will activate on opening an email with the following subject:
"Subject: Lump of Coal"
If you receive this warning or any similar warning, please do not forward
it to anyone else. Rather, if you have any question feel free to email one
of our virus experts at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

# W97M_LYS_KOVICK -- W97M_LYS_KOVICK is a simple Word 97 macro virus, which
disables the Microsoft Word virus protection & then displays the following
prayer on December 25th: "The Lord Is My Father...Jesus my savior"
