I belive that this message was originally posted on April 1st of this year.
Please don't spread it around anymore. It's about a trojan (there is no
such thing as a trojan horse virus), and it really isn't worth the anoyance
(and the looks of "who's the dumbass") that it brings.

Just received the following message:
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED "PKZIP300"
REGARDLESS OF
THE EXTENSION!
A NEW Trojan Horse virus has emerged on the INTERNET with
the name
PKZIP300.ZIP so as to give the impression that this file is a new
version
of the PKZIP software used to "zip" compressed file.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS FILE UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES!!
If you install or expand the file, the virus will wipe your hard disk
clean
and affect modems at 14.4 and higher. This is an extremely
destructive
virus and there is NOT yet a way of cleaning this one up.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU KNOW.
