Heads' up on this new virus.
Please read following and make sure you take suitable precautions.

For your information ...

         DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300 REGARDLESS OF THE
         EXTENSION!!!

WARNING!!!!! Read the following and take note for those of you who access
the web and ftp sites. . . BE WARE!!!  Notify your friends and family and
total strangers too!!!  We don't want to deal with anything like this
what-so-ever!!!

>>>Hi all,
We work closely with the military and received this message from a very
reliable source in DC this morning.

         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" (compress) 
files.

         DO NOT DOWNLOAD this file under any circumstances!!! If you 
install
         or expand this file, the virus WILL wipe your hard disk clean and
         affect modems at 14.4 and higher. This is an extremely 
destructive
         virus and there is NOT yet a way of cleaning up this one.



        REPEAT: DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300 REGARDLESS OF THE
        EXTENSION!!!

***************************


Hope this prevents a problem !!! """
