Another virus-related hoax appeared in the end of September 1998. The hoax looks like this:

 virus. It is a time bomb Virus. Microsoft has already apologized
 for the mass breakdown of computers around the world on that
 day. However they had yet to come up with a remedy. Some
 versions of Win95 are safe but some are not.

 they won't be a victim. Please forward this e-mail.
