There is a new virus on the internet, there is no CLEANSING available
for this as yet, please read below and be careful.
This is being sent to a general audience, to 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" compressed 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 at 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. >
