the
loose. It will arrive on e-mail titled "How to give a Cat a Colonic".
IBM
and AOL have announced that it is very powerful, more so than Melissa.
There is no remedy. It will eat all your information on the hard drive
and
also destroy Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Do not
open anything with this title and please pass this message on to all
your
contacts and anyone who uses your e-mail facility. Not many people seem
to
know about this yet so propagate it as fast as possible. This
information
was announced yesterday morning by IBM. Please share it with anyone in

a
very dangerous virus and there is no remedy for it at this time. Please
practice cautionary measures and foward this to all your online friends
