1. This is VERY SERIOUS!! Please forward to everyone you
know...they will be grateful. There is a virus out now being
sent to people via email..it is called the A.I.D.S. VIRUS. It
will destroy your memory, sound card and speakers, your drive and
it will infect your mouse or pointing devices as well as your
keyboards making it so that you can't type and it will not
register on the screen. It self terminates only after it eats
5MB of hard drive space & will delete all programs. It will come
via E-mail called
"(OPEN: VERY COOL!:)". DELETE IT immediately!!
It will basically render your computer useless.
PASS IT ON QUICKLY & TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE!!
2. Very Urgent Must Read Please. If you receive an e-mail titled
"Win A Holiday" DO NOT open it.
It will erase everything on your hard drive. Forward this letter
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 yesterday morning from Microsoft. Thank You,
Neil Ferrick, Compaq Computer, Corporation
