(But that part will never work properly again.)

getting.

for the AT&T virus.

you of impending hard disk attack---once if by LAN, twice if by floppy.

POLITICALLY CORRECT VIRUS: Never calls itself a "virus", but instead refers
to itself as an "electronic microorganism."

old it is. If you attempt to erase a file, it requires you to first see
a counsellor about possible alternatives.

the whole thing quits.

GOVERNMENT ECONOMIST VIRUS: Nothing works, but all your diagnostic software
says everything is fine.

NEW WORLD ORDER VIRUS: Probably harmless, but it makes a lot of people
really mad just thinking about it.

units, each of which does practically nothing, but all of which claim to
be the most important part of your computer.

GALLUP VIRUS: Sixty percent of the PCs infected will lose 38 percent of
their data 14 percent of the time. (plus or minus a 3.5 percent margin
of error.)

TEXAS VIRUS: Makes sure that it's bigger than any other file.

ADAM AND EVE VIRUS: Takes a couple of bytes out of your Apple.

CONGRESSIONAL VIRUS: The computer locks up, screen splits erratically with
a message appearing on each half blaming the other side for the problem.

CONGRESSIONAL VIRUS #2: Runs every program on the hard drive simultaneously,
but doesn't allow the user to accomplish anything.

AIRLINE VIRUS: you're in Dallas, but your data is in Singapore.

FREUDIAN VIRUS: Your computer becomes obsessed with marrying its own
motherboard.

and a set of shocks.

before.

HEALTH CARE VIRUS: Tests your system for a day, finds nothing wrong, and
sends you a bill for $4,500.

files!" on the screen. It proceeds to fill up all the free space on your
hard drive with new files, then blames it on the Congressional Virus.

CLEVELAND INDIANS VIRUS: Makes your Pentium machine perform like a 286/AT.

LAPD VIRUS: It claims it feels threatened by the other files on your PC
and erases them in "self defense".

the reviews, but you still love it.

it's programmer will take it back.
