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 iimpression that this file is a new version of the 
PKZIP software used to "zip" compressed 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 at 14.4 and higher.  This 
is an extremely destructive virus & there is NOT yet a way of cleaning this 
one up.
                PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU KNOW
