Subject: VIRUS THREAT THIS WEEK

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
According to an article in the New York Times today (Peter H. Lewis
"Friday the 13th: A Virus Is Lurking") on page 12 of the Business
Section, a virus known as the Datacrime or Columbus Day virus will become
active on Thursday. Then:

The real damage will be done on or after the following day--Friday
the 13th--when the virus will erase the "boot" sector, or file
allocation table, the the victim's hard disk. Without that sector,
there is virtually no way to get access to the information stored
on the disk. To regain control of the computer, the user would have
to re-format the hard drive, destroying all its files.
