[Ronald R Shiflet]

Watch out for the following viruses:

about foreign software.

COLIN POWELL VIRUS: Makes its presence known, but doesn't do anything.
Secretly, you wish it would.

Hillary CLINTON VIRUS: Files disappear, only to reappear mysteriously
a year later, in another directory.

O.J. SIMPSON VIRUS: You know it's guilty of trashing your system, but
you just can't prove it.

STEVE FORBES VIRUS: All files are reported as the same size.

PAUL REVERE VIRUS:  This revolutionary virus does not horse around.
It warns you of impending hard disk attack:  Once, if by LAN; twice if
by C.

instead refers to itself as an "electronic micro-organism."

before the whole thing quits.

GOVERNMENT ECONOMIST VIRUS:  Nothing works, but all 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 does practically nothing, but all of which
claim to be the most important part of your computer.

GALLUP VIRUS:  Sixty percent of the PC's infected will lose 30 percent
of their data 14 percent of the time (plus or minus a 3.5 percent
margin of error).

TEXAS VIRUS:  Makes sure that it's bigger than any other file.

ADAM AND EVE VIRUS:  Takes a couple bytes out of your Apple.

CONGRESSIONAL VIRUS:  The computer locks up, and the screen splits in
half with  the same message appearing on each side of the screen.  The
message says that the blame for the gridlock is caused by the other
side.

Singapore.

motherboard.

destructs, only to resurface at shopping malls and service stations
across rural America.

OLLIE NORTH VIRUS:  Causes your printer to become a paper shredder.

NIKE VIRUS:  Just does it.

gone before.

wrong, and sends you a bill for $4,500.
