fyi





DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300 REGARDLESS OF THE

EXTENSION!!!





WARNING!!!!! Read the following and take note for those of you who

access

the web and ftp sites. . . BE WARE!!! Notify your friends and family

and

total strangers too!!! We don't want to deal with anything like this

what-so-ever!!!





Hi all,

We work closely with the military and received this message from a very

reliable source in DC this morning.







A NEW Trojan Horse Virus has emerged on the internet with the

name

PKZIP300.ZIP, so named as to give the impression that this

file is

a new version of the PKZIP software used to "ZIP" (compress)

files.



DO NOT DOWNLOAD this file under any circumstances!!! If you

install

or expand this file, the virus WILL wipe your hard disk clean

and

affect modems at 14.4 and higher. This is an extremely

destructive

virus and there is NOT yet a way of cleaning up this one.



REPEAT: DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300 REGARDLESS OF

THE

EXTENSION!!!



Thanks,
