could use it.  If you know about it already, then I apologize for the
interruption.

Warning!!!  If you receive an e-mail titled "Join The Crew" Do Not Open
It!  It will erase everything on your hard drive!
Send this letter out to as many people as you can.
This is a new virus that is not yet detectable by McAfee or others..
...
    
2)
IMPORTANT!!!
    
It is essential that this problem be reconciled as soon as possible.   A 
few  hours ago, someone opened an e-mail that had the subject heading
of... ao4free. Within seconds of opening it, a window appeared and began 
to display all
files that were being deleted.  The user immediately shut  down the 
computer, but it was too late.  This virus wiped out all .  It  ate the 
anti-Virus Software that comes with the windows '95 Program  along with 
F-Prot AVS.  Neither was able to detect it.  Please be  careful and send 
this to as many people as possible, so maybe this new  virus can be 
eliminated.
    
3)
If anyone receives e-mail entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS!" please delete it 
WITHOUT READING IT!!  This is a warning for all internet users.  There is 
a dangerous virus propagating across the internet through an e-mail 
message entitled " PENPAL GREETINGS!"  DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY MESSAGE 
ENTITLED "PENPAL GREETINGS"!!  This
message appears to be a friendly letter asking if you are interested in a 
penpal, but by the time you read the letter, it is too late.  The "Trojan 
Horse" virus will have already infected the boot sector of your hard 
drive, destroying all of the data present.  It is a self-replicating 
virus, and once the message is read, it will AUTOMATICALLY!!! forward 
itself to anyone whose e-mail address is present in YOUR mailbox!  This 
Virus will DESTROY your hard drive, and holds the potential to DESTROY 
the hard drive of anyone whose mail is in your IN BOX, and whose mail is 
in their in box and so on.  If this virus keeps getting passed, it has 
the potential to do a great deal of damage to computer networks 
worldwide!!!
Please, delete the message entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS!" As soon as you 
see it.  Pass this message along to all of your friends and other readers 
of the newsgroups and mailing lists which you are on so that they are not 
hurt by this dangerous virus!!!
Please pass this on..........to anyone you know 
Thanks
