NAME:	CellSaver
ALIAS:	Celcom Screen Saver

There are currently 2 variants of this hoax. The older one appeared in early 1998. In April, 1999, there appeared a sequel. The new hoax message looks like this:

 Name of Virus  :  "CELLSAVER.EXE"
 Do not open any mail with the above heading.  It has already
 affected 3 PC's in the IBM office.  There is actually a virus
 software attached to it and it can't be detected.  This
 screensaver is very cool.  It shows a NOKIA handphone, with time
 and messages.  After it is activated, the PC cannot boot up at
 all.  It goes very, very slow.  It even destroys your hard disk.
 Please do not use the program.  Delete it as soon as possible.

 Please be careful and sent this to as many people as possible,
 so maybe these new viruses can be eliminated.  Be extra
 careful!!
