I just got this, passing it all to all I know, if you get it twice, you

your hard drive, destroying all of the data present. It is a
self-propagating virus, and once the message is read, it will
AUTOMATICALLY forward itself to anyone whose e-mail address is present
in YOUR mailbox. This virus will destroy your hard drive, and holds the
potential to destroy the hard drive of anyone whose mail is in your
in-box, and whose mail is in their in-box and so on.

deal of damage to computer networks worldwide.

see it, and pass this message along to all of your friends, relatives
and the other readers of the newsgroups and mailing lists which you are
