<< Don't know if these are real or not but this came to me from credible
 people...

 Please Take Note!

 WARNING No. 1

 If you receive any CELCOM Screen Saver. Pls. do not install it!!!
 This screensaver is very cool. It shows a NOKIA handphone, with time
 messages.  After it is activated, the PC cannot boot up at all. It goes
 very slow.  It destroys your hard disk. The filename is CELLSAVER.EXE

 WARNING No. 2

 Beware! if someone named <SandMan> asks you to check out his page. DO
 NOT! It is at  www.geocitiescom/vienna/6318

 This page hacks into your C:\drive.DO NOT GO THERE...

 WARNING NO.. 3

 If you get an E-mail titled : "Win A Holiday" DO NOT open it.
 Delete it immediately. Microsoft just announced yesterday. It is a
 malicious virus that WILL ERASE YOUR HARD DRIVE . At this time there
 is no remedy .

 WARNING NO. 4

 If you receive an e-mail titled JOIN THE CREW or PENPALS,  DO NOT open
 it!!!
 It will erase EVERYTHING on your hard drive! PENPAL appears to be a
 friendly
 letter asking you if you are interested in a  penpal.....but by the time
 you
 read this letter it is TOO late.
 The Trojan horse virus will have already infected the boot sector of
 your
 hard drive, destroying all the data present. It is a self-replicating
 virus, and once the message is read it will AUTOMATICALLY forward itself
 to
 anyone who's e-mail address is present in your box!!!  This virus will
 destroy your hard drive and holds the potential to DESTROY the hard
 drive of anyone whose mail is in your box and whose mail is in their
 box and so on and on!!!!!!MA   So delete any message titled PENPAL or
 JOIN
 THE CREW.  This virus can do major DAMAGE to worldwide networks!!!

 PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND PEOPLE IN
 YOUR MAILBOXES.  AOL HAS SAID THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIRUS AND THERE
 IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS YET.
