WIN A HOLIDAY Hoax
Circulating the Internet is e-mail messages entitle "WIN A HOLIDAY".
These e-mail messages are a hoax and the false warning of a
malicious e-mail does not exist. There is currently no virus that
has the characteristic described in the message. The message is a
variant of the "Join the Crew" hoax and another variant called "JUST
WIN A HOLIDAY". CIAC recommends that you DO NOT pass the message to
others. VIRUS WARNING !!!!!!
If you receive an email titled "WIN A HOLIDAY" DO NOT open it. It
will erase everything on your hard drive. Forward this letter out as
many people as you can. This is a new, very malicious virus and not
many people know about it. This information was announced yesterday
morning from Microsoft; please share it with everyone that might
access the Internet. Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in our
address book so that this may be stopped. Also, do not open or even
look at any mail that says "RETURNED OR UNABLE TO DELIVER" This
virus will attach itself to your computer components and render them
useless. Immediately delete any mail items that say this. AOL has
said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy
for it at this time. Please practice cautionary measures and forward
this to all your online friends ASAP.
