Virus Hoaxes

Name: AOL4FREE
Description:

NOTICE: A real trojan program AOL4FREE.COM has been reported masquerading as the following hoax program. The real trojan program is 993 bytes long.

This hoax was spread in e-mail in early April, 1997. Ignore this hoax warning and do not pass it on.

The original hoax message looked like this:

****
  Anyone who recieves this must send it to as many people as you can.
  It is essential that this problem be reconciled as soon as possible.

  A few hours ago, Id an E-mail that had the subject heading of
  aol4free.com

  Within seconds ofng it, a window appeared and began to display
  my files that were being deleted. I immediately shut down my
  computer, but it was too late. This virus wiped me 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.
**** 

Again, ignore this message and do no pass it on. There also exists a program for Macintosh machines called aol4free, but the versions seen so far did not delete files.
