I just received this the following virus alert. Perhaps it might be valuable for
you to have it and pass it on; maybe it is a modern version of a chainletter, a
way of increasing mail traffic and increasing revenue for E-mail providers, or
maybe it is for real, so I am sending it to my whole list of addresses:

>>>>I received this virus alert today from a friend at MCI
Anyone who receives this should perhaps send it to as many people as possible.
It is essential that this problem be reconciled as soon as possible.  A few
hours ago, I opened an E-mail that had the subject heading of
"AOL4FREE.COM".  Within seconds of opening it, a window appeared and began to
display my files that were being deleted.  I immediately shut down my computer,
but it was too late.  This virus wiped me out.  It ate the Anti-Virus Software
that comes with the Windows '95 Program along with F-Prot AVS.  Neither was able
to detect it.  Please be careful and send this to as many people as possible, so
maybe this new virus can be eliminated.>>

Aol until 1998....or  AOL 4 free......  PLEASE DELETE...... contains a
