Anyone who receives this must send it to as many people as you can. It is
essential that this problem be reconciled as soon as possible. A few hours
ago, I opened an E-mail that had the subject heading of "AOL4FREE.COM".
Within seconds of opening it, a window appeared and began to display my
files that were being deleted. I immediately shut down my computer, but
it was too late. This virus wiped me out. 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.
