Info for you:

A few hours ago, Someone opened an E-mail that had the subject heading
of ao4free.com

Within seconds of opening it, a window appeared and began to display
all files that were being deleted. The user immediately shut down the
computer, but it was too late.

This virus wiped all out. It ate the Anti-Virus Software that comes
with the Windows '95 Program along with F-Prot AVS. Neither was able to
detect it.
Please be careful and send this to as many people as possible, so maybe
this new virus can be eliminated.

Please pass this on,...........to anyone you know
