Here are some virus warnings I received my e-mail, passing them on. ************************************* 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.geocities.com/vienna/6318 <*ttp://www.geocities.com/vienna/6318> This page hacks into your C:\drive.DO NOT GO THERE... FOWARD THIS MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. Warning No. 3 SEND THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR CONTACT LIST! THIS IS NO JOKE,OK? WARNING: 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. Forward this to everyone IMMEDIATELY!! Warning No. 4 W A R N I N G ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 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 harddrive, 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 REMEDYFOR THIS YET.
