From: Dr. Juan Carlos Garelli Attachment Research Center Buenos Aires, Argentina E-mail:[log in to unmask] A Virus has been discovered on the INTERNET disguised as CD-ROM shareware. Hackers have illegally put the CHINON name on a destructive shareware file and released it on the INTERNET. The viruse is named CD-IT . DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. It will corrupt your hardrive. The program is a shareware PC utility that will convert an ordinary CD-ROM drive into a CD RECORDABLE device (thought to be impossible) and it will destroy critical system files on the user's hard drive, crash the CPU AND FORCES THE USER to reboot and stays in memory. ..........forewarned is foreARMED, netters!!
