<< Don't know if these are real or not but this came to me from credible
people...
Please Take Note!
WARNING No. 1
If you receive any CELCOM Screen Saver. Pls. do not install it!!!
This screensaver is very cool. It shows a NOKIA handphone, with time
messages. After it is activated, the PC cannot boot up at all. It goes
very slow. It destroys your hard disk. The filename is CELLSAVER.EXE
WARNING No. 2
Beware! if someone named <SandMan> asks you to check out his page. DO
NOT! It is at www.geocitiescom/vienna/6318
This page hacks into your C:\drive.DO NOT GO THERE...
WARNING NO.. 3
If you get an E-mail titled : "Win A Holiday" DO NOT open it.
Delete it immediately. Microsoft just announced yesterday. It is a
malicious virus that WILL ERASE YOUR HARD DRIVE . At this time there
is no remedy .
WARNING NO. 4
If you receive an e-mail titled JOIN THE CREW or PENPALS, DO NOT open
it!!!
It will erase EVERYTHING on your hard drive! PENPAL appears to be a
friendly
letter asking you if you are interested in a penpal.....but by the time
you
read this letter it is TOO late.
The Trojan horse virus will have already infected the boot sector of
your
hard drive, destroying all the data present. It is a self-replicating
virus, and once the message is read it will AUTOMATICALLY forward itself
to
anyone who's e-mail address is present in your box!!! This virus will
destroy your hard drive and holds the potential to DESTROY the hard
drive of anyone whose mail is in your box and whose mail is in their
box and so on and on!!!!!!MA So delete any message titled PENPAL or
JOIN
THE CREW. This virus can do major DAMAGE to worldwide networks!!!
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND PEOPLE IN
YOUR MAILBOXES. AOL HAS SAID THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIRUS AND THERE
IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS YET.
