Subject: Virus Alert!!

There is a new virus on the Internet, for which there is no CLEANSING
available.  This is being sent to a general audience, caution with file
sharing.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300 REGARDLESS OF EXTENSION.

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," or compress, files.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS FILE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!

If you install or expand the file, the virus WILL wipe your hard disk
clean and affect modems 14.4 and higher.  This is an extremely
destructive virus & there is NOT yet a way of cleaning this one up.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU KNOW .
