Subject: Virus Warning
PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR.
If you receive an email titled "Lets watch TV" DO NOT OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard drive. This information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL states that "KALI" is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa,"and that there is NO remedy for it at this time.
Some very sick individual has succeeded in using the reformat function from Norton Utilities causing it to completely erase all documents on the hard drive. It has been designed to work with Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer. It destroys Macintosh and IBM compatible computers.
This is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. Pass this warning along to EVERYONE in your address book and please share it with all your online friends ASAP so that this threat may be stopped.
Please practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access to your computer. Forward this warning to everyone that might access the Internet. If you receive any mail with the following file attachments,please do not open and delete them immediately. List of exe files not to be opened - DO NOT RUN and DO NOT LAUNCH THEM at all!! There is no remedy or cure. They will completely wipeout all your data in your hard disk and destroy all your emails!
The viruses are:
1) buddylst.exe
2) calcu18r.exe
3) deathpr.exe
4) einstein.exe
5) happ.exe
6) happy99.exe
7) japanese.exe
8) keypress.exe
9) kitty.exe
10) teletubb.exe
Do pass on this important message to all your friends and business associates.

It used to be that you had to open an attachment, but some people have figured out a way to exploit security holes in email clients, so that is no longer the case. (Most of them you would still have to open the attachment to be infected)
Donna's suggestion is good, but I'm content with having real-time virus protection running. It has always caught any virii people have sent (including two today). If you keep your virus definitions up to date, you are pretty safe. There is the possibility of getting infected with an absolutely brand new virus, but you'd have to be pretty unlucky. Norton Antivirus also tries to identify virus-like activity to protect you from unknown virii.
One of the most common tricks these idiots use is to name the virus whatever.jpg.vbs These people are counting on people having their file extensions turned off in Windows Explorer, so all they see is whatever.jpg and assume it's safe to open.
File extensions to be extra careful about are: *.exe,*.com,*.bat,*.dll,*.ini,*.shs,*.vbs,*.pif,*.js
Exe's are usually fine, but I always scan anything anyone sends me, and have asked my friends to just send me a link to whatever it is if it's on the web. That means you're not downloading something you're not going to open, and the link allows you to see where it's coming from and if it interests you.
