I received this message this morning and have not had time to
verify it!  However, I am posting it for obvious reasons!!
Here's the message (not written by me):

"Yesterday, I talked to a friend who works at at hard disk compancy.  They    
recently discovered a Trojan Horse program in the Font Finder application.   
The Trojan Horse is designed to go off starting tomorrow (10 February 1990).  

It will destroy your entire hard disk in a matter of a few minutes.  

If you have the program (it is public domain), throw it away!!!  It is       

deadly."

Disclaimer: I do NOT guarantee this message to be true!!
