This new virus called "Blotto" is the most destructive ever. It
will physically destroy your computer! It will destroy your hard
drive by telling it to read a certain track (portion) 65,535
times! That will cause the drive to severly overheat and
eventually that destroys the drive. It also tells the computer
to sit on a certain register until the circuitboard underneath
literally melts!

IT COMES FROM EMAIL. IF YOU GET AN EMAIL SAYING "WANT TO PLAY
BLOTTO?" DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY AND DON'T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!
