Stephend@bus02.ferris.edu copied message from newsgroup... Article 19 of 87 Subject: Many reports of AOL4free Trojan. (probable urban legend) From: Dave Grisham <dave@unm.edu> Date: 1997/04/11 Message-Id: <Pine.A32.3.91.970411103455.47310C-100000@mirac.unm.edu> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.cumrec-l [More Headers] Recently, I have had many reports about a Trojan called aol4free. This urban legend is best described at the excellent Computer Virus Myths page: http://kumite.com/myths/ I am cross-posting this message because, if I'm getting requests so are many of you. I hope this information is helpful. The forum for the aol4free reports has been chain e-mail. I have a web page that sites many sources about real threats and hoaxes. http://www.unm.edu/cirt/irc/svcs/security/notification.html Cheers. --grish Dr. David D. Grisham, Security Admin.
