WARNING!!

RE: VIRUS HAIDER

This message is distributed by GTA Institute of Vienna University. Please  
distribute this message by all means.

VIRUS HAIDER endangers your system!

This virus is a new kind of Trojan virus and does a lot of damage which  
has not been found out completely as of yet.

This virus cannot be removed with one of the usual virus killers. At  
present no definite information is available as to how the virus can be  
transmitted. This virus is even more dangerous than "ILOVEYOU".

According to info available to GTA Institute, the virus uses programme  
codes from the 1930ies but uses up-to-date techniques. The programme codes  
have not as yet been decoded completely.

WARNING: the virus does not only destroy your software. According to info  
forwarded to GTA Institute, the virus will also damage your hardware: in a  
shoulder to shoulder stance, the virus will destroy resistors on your  
motherboard (important part of your PC).

Determination: The virus can be spotted through unexpected racist remarks.  
As long as these are of definite racist or sexist nature, there is still  
time. Delete the infected software.
However, if you chance to read remarks of a more moderate kind, like:  
"Let's co-operate", on your monitor, your hardware has been infected, too.  
DO NOT CONTINUE WORK IN THIS CASE! Call a technician to check the  
resistors on your motherboard and if necessary have the resistors  
exchanged for more resistant ones.

IMPORTANT: Translate this warning. Send this warning to all your friends.  
Your PC might be infected already!
