I recieved this by email today. Im posting it for your consideration.
Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered recently. If you receive an email
called "An Internet Flower For You," do not open it.
Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries(.dll files) from your computer. Your
computer will not be able to boot up.
This is a virus warning from a pretty reliable source.. Be careful everyone..AND once again the BEST
thing to do is ALWAYS download exe files to a disk rather than your hard drive.
THEY are the ones that usually contain the virus'.
PLEASE, SEND THIS INFORMATION TO EVERY PERSON IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. IF YOU RECEIVE AN E-MAIL THAT READS
"UPGRADE INTERNET2" DO NOT OPEN IT, AS IT CONTAINS AN EXECUTABLE NAMED "PERRIN.EXE." IT WILL
ERASE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR HARD DRIVE AND IT WILL STAY IN MEMORY EVERY TIME THAT YOU UPLOAD ANY DATA, IT WILL BE
AUTOMATICALLY ERASED AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN.
THIS INFORMATION WAS PUBLISHED YESTERDAY IN THE CNN WEB SITE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIRUS. TO THIS DATE,
THERE IS NO KNOWN ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM FOR THIS PARTICULAR VIRUS PLEASE, FORWARD THIS INFORMATION TO
YOUR FRIENDS, SO THAT THEY WILL BE ON THE ALERT. ALSO CHECK THE LIST BELOW, SENT BY IBM, WITH THE NAMES OF
SOME E-MAILS THAT, IF RECEIVED, SHOULD NOT BE OPENED AND MUST BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN ATTACHED
VIRUSES. THIS WAY YOUR COMPUTER WILL BE SAFE.
THE TITLES ARE:
1) buddylst.exe
2) calcu18r.exe
3) deathpr.exe
4) einstein.exe
5) happ.exe
6) girls.exe
7) happy99.exe
8) japanese.exe
9) keypress.exe
10) kitty.exe

16) perrin.exe
17) I love You
18) CELCOM Screen Saver or CELSAVER.EXE
19) Win a Holiday (e-mail)
20) JOIN THE CREW O PENPALS
ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT OPEN THESE E-MAILS AND PASS THIS INFORMATION ON
TO YOUR FRIENDS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Very Urgent!!!!!!!
Another Alert!!!!!!!!
PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR.
If you receive an email titled: "It Takes Guts to Say Jesus" DO NOT OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard drive.
This information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL states that this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa," and that there is NO Remedy for it at this time.
Some very sick individual has succeeded in using the reformat function from Norton Utilities causing it to completely erase all documents on the hard drive. It has been designed to work with Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It destroys Macintosh and IBM compatible computers.
This is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it.
Please share it with all your online friends ASAP so that this threat maybe stopped.
Please practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access to your computer.
Forward this warning to everyone that might access the Internet.
