Just in case you haven't seen this list of viruses ... Subject: Beware of New Viruses!! WATCH OUT FOR THESE NEW COMPUTER VIRUSES!! PAUL REVERE VIRUS: This revolutionary virus does not horse around. It warns you of impending hard disk attack -- once by LAN, twice by C. POLITICALLY CORRECT VIRUS: Never calls itself a virus, but instead, refers to itself as an "electronic microorganism". RIGHT TO LIFE VIRUS: Won't allow you to delete a file, regardless of how bad it is. If you attempt to erase a file, it requires you to first see a counselor about possible alternatives. ROSS PEROT VIRUS: Activates every component in your system just before the whole thing quits. MARIO CUOMO VIRUS: It would be a great virus, but it refuses to run. OPRAH WINFREY VIRUS: Your 200Mb hard drive suddenly shrinks to 80Mb, and then slowly expands back to 200Mb. AT&T VIRUS: Every three minutes, it tells you what great service you are getting. MCI VIRUS: Every three minutes, it reminds you that you are paying too much for the AT&T virus. TED TURNER VIRUS: Colorizes your monochrome monitor. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER VIRUS: Terminates and stays resident. It'll be back. DAN QUAYLE VIRUS: Prevents your system from spawning any child processors without joining into a binary network. GOVERNMENT ECONOMIST VIRUS: Nothing works, but all of your diagnostic software says everything is fine. NEW WORLD ORDER VIRUS: Probably harmless, but it makes a lot of people really mad just thinking about it. FEDERAL BUREAUCRAT VIRUS: Divides your hard disk into hundreds of little units, each of which do practically nothing, but all of which claim to be the most important part of the computer. GALLUP VIRUS: 60% of the PCs infected will lose 38% of their data 14% of the time (plus or minus a 3.5% margin of error). RUSH LIMBAUGH VIRUS: As opposed to the GOVERNMENT ECONOMIST VIRUS, all of your diagnostic software says everything is broken in spite of the fact that everything is working normally. ------- End of Forwarded Message
