DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FILE NAMED PKZIP300
REGARDLESS OF EXTENSION.

A NEW Trojan Horse Virus has emerged on the Internet with the
name PKZIP300.ZIP, so named as to give the impression that
this file is a new version of the PKZIP software used to "zip," or
compress, files.  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 14.4 and
higher.  This is an extremely destructive virus & there is NOT yet
a way of cleaning this one up.
