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.
