 << VIRUS ALERT!!!
DON'T OPEN E-MAIL NOTING "AOL4FREE"
Be aware that there are  letters going around that you have won free
Aol until 1998....or  AOL 4 free......  PLEASE DELETE...... contains a
virus that  will wipe out your harddrive...... after you download and it
executes.
 
SUBJECT AREA OF EMAIL....... CONGRATULATIONS! You are a WINNER!

SUBJECT AREA OF EMAIL.......AOL 4 Free - Get AOL For Free
 
VERY IMPORTANT VIRUS WARNING!!!!! DO NOT OPEN ANY
MAIL........AOL4free.........READ THE WARNING!!  THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT
TO KNOW!!!
 

SERIOUS WARNING ONCE AGAIN CREW!!  ANYONE WANT TO KILL THESE PEOPLE NOW?
 
KEEP PASSING IT ALONG, CUZ I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS ONE YET, AND PEOPLE ARE
LIKELY TO OPEN UP AOL4FREE MAIL!!!
 
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, a friend of mine opened an E-mail that had the subject
heading of "AOL4FREE.COM". 
  
Within seconds of opening it, a window appeared and began to display
their  files that were being deleted.  They immediately shut down their
computer, but it was too late.  This virus wiped them 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.>>
