A new virus has been released on the Internet.
The virus is unparalled in its disasterous capabilities.
First of All:
The virus is sent through E-Mail. The only way to find this virus is if the
'subject' of the message is 'Check This'. If you find a message with 'Check
This' as its subject DELETE IT STRAIGHT AWAY!
What it Does:
The virus first of all checks a file to see who has sent you mail previous
to the message being sent. It will then send its self to every person on the
list. If left on the computer, it will rewrite your HARD DISK. If this
happens the only place for the HARD DISK is the BIN! Then it will send an
infinate number of binary digits to your processor which in time will
destroy it.
Note:
Please tell everybody you know about the virus so they can avoid a defunct
computer.
If you recieve the message delete it instantly.
