-----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Alfred Bagdan Sent: Friday, October 15, 1999 1:09 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Deadly new virus

Hi

This information came from Microsoft yesterday morning. Please pass it on to anyone you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless Budweiser screensaver, entitled "BUDDYLST.SIP". If you do - DO NOT OPEN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, but delete it immediately. Once opened, you will loose EVERYTHING on your PC. Your hard drive disk will be completely destroyed and the person who sent it to you will have access to your name and password via the internet. As far as we know this was circulated yesterday morning. It's a new virus, and extremely dangerous. Please copy this information and e-mail it to everyone in your address book. We need to do all we can to block this virus. AOL has confirmed how dangerous it is, and there is no Anti Virus program yet which is capable of destroying it. Please take all the necessary precautions, and pass on all this information to your friends, acquaintances and work colleagues.

Alfred
