JUst received this from a PC friend. Virus BEWARE! #1 - ao4free.com. Within seconds of opening it, a window appeared and began to display all files that were being deleted. The user immediately shut down the computer, but it was too late. This virus wiped all out. It ate the Anti-Virus software that comes with the Win95 program along with F-Prot. Neither was able to detect it. Please be careful and send this to as many people as possible, somaybe this new virus can be eliminated. Don't open this file. Delete it immediately. #2 - PENPAL GREETINGS. This message appears to be a friendly letter sking you if you are interested in a penpal but by the time you read the letter, it is too late. The "trojan horse" virus will have already infected the boot sector of your hard drive, destroying all of the data present. It is a self-replicaating virus, and once the message is ready, it will AUTOMATICALLY forward itself to anyone whose e-mail address is present in YOUR mailbox! This virus will DESTROY your hard drive and holds the potential to DESTROY the hard drive of anyone whose mail is in your IN BOX and whose mail is in their inbox and so on. If this virus keeps getting passed, it has the potential to do a great deal of damage to computer networks worldwide!!! Please, delete the messagae entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS!" AS SOON AS YOU SEE IT! Pass this message along to all of your friends and other readers so the newsgroups and mailing lists which you are on are not hurt by this dangerous virus!!!!! Please pass this along to everyone you know so this can be stopped. Apparently one should not open any e-mail that they're not sure who's sending it? Beware, everyone.
