NEW VIRUS WARNING!

A new Trojan Horse Virus has emerged on the Internet
with the name PKZIP300.ZIP.  It was named as such so
that the file would pass as a new version of PKZIP
software, a file compression utility from PKWare.

We are warning all our subscribers
     NOT TO DOWNLOAD THE FILE PKZIP300.ZIP
under any circumstance.  The virus has been known to
wipe out the entire hard disk clean and effect modems
at 14.4 and higher.  This is an extremely destructive
virus of which there is no cure for the moment.
