"Dear Faculty,
We are sending out this e-mail in repsonse to a tip Bob Riddle provided the
other day regarding a new virus - WOBBLER.

It will arrive on e-mail titled CALIFORNIA.  IBM and AOL have announced that
it is very powerful, more so than Melissa, there is no remedy.  It will eat
all your information on the hard drive and also destroys Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Do not open anything with this title and please pass this message on
to all your contacts and anyone who uses your e-mail facility. Not many
people know about this yet. Be warned.

A new computer virus is one of those things that are hard to keep ontop of,
any input is always welcomed and appreciated."
