out to as many people as you can. This is a new, very malicious virus and
not many people know about it. This information was announced Sunday morning
from IBM; please share it with everyone that might access the Internet.
Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in your address book so that this
may be stopped.
AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO
remedy for it at this time.<<
from:

IBM has determined that a small number of Aptiva PCs with model numbers 240,
301, 520 and 580 manufactured between March 5 and March 17, 1999, and sold
in the United States, have been exposed to the CIH computer virus. No other
Aptiva models or IBM products are known to be affected.
The CIH virus, which is spread from one PC to another when an executable
file is transferred, may render an infected PC inoperable when the date on
the PC's internal calendar reads April 26 of any year.
For more information, including how affected users can obtain an AntiVirus
Update CD from IBM that corrects the problem, IBM Aptiva owners can go to
http://www.ibm.com/support and click on "Aptiva CIH Virus" in the "Short
cuts" list, or call the IBM HelpCenter around-the-clock at 1-800-600-8235.
