WARNING!    WARNING!    CIA  VIRUS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------

Warning! There is a terrible new virus propogating throughout the
internet. It is an updated, self-replicating "stealth bomber trojan
horse" virus designed to wipe out the entire hard boot floppy drive
of any computer it infects.  It was responsible for wiping out the
entire medical library of the Mayo Clinic last week; yesterday it
cleared the computers at NFL headquarters, causing the Dallas
Cowboys to trade Michael Jordan to the Chicago Celtics for Andre
Aggasi and two players to be named later.

This virus originated with the CIA. The CIA developed it in order to
electronically "snoop" through unsuspecting subject's PC's undetected.
Essentially, the CIA can send signals through the modem line, turn on
your computer, steal your files and then wipe out your PC. Tragically,
this AI (Artificial Intelligence) program has learned to operate on
its own and is running amok throughout the internet.

PROTECT YOURSELF! Turn off your computer and totally unplug it,
especially you phone line, every time you leave your desk. If your
electrical outlet is not easily accessible, shield your monitor and
CPU with Reynolds Wrap Aluminum foil, triple layered. This will set
up a protective static barrier and thwart the virus's attempts to
steal your hard drive.

Copy this information and forward it to all your friends and relatives
and employers and government agencies and every newsgroup and
mailing list you know of, so they are not hurt by this dangerous virus.

                         THIS IS NOT A HOAX.

I know it's for real; I saw it on "X FILES" one time.
