PASS THE INFORMATION TO ALL THOSE THAT YOU CAN. IF THEY
RECEIVE A TITLED EMAIL " UP-GRADE INTERNET2 " DO NOT
OPEN IT,
THE ATTACHMENT NAMED PERRIN.EXE. THIS VIRUS ERASED ALL
THE INFORMATION FROM THE HARD DISK AND SOMEHOW IT HIDES IN THE MEMORY OF
THE COMPUTER, THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY WHENEVER THE INFORMATION WAS LOADED
BACK TO THE HARD DISK, IT WAS ERASED AGAIN, LEAVING THE COMPUTER PRACTICALLY
UNUSABLE. THIS INFORMATION WAS PUBLISHED YESTERDAY AND ON CNN's WEBSITE
IT IS SAID THAT THIS VIRUS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THAT ANTIVIRUS DOES NOT
DETECT IT. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN, SINCE IT
IS CERTAIN AT LEAST THAT IT CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED. THANKS
