>The CIAC of the Dept. of Energy has verified the existence of a program that
>can erase files on your hard drive if executed.  The program purports to
>enable the user to create "bogus" accounts on America Online that you could
>proceed to use without charge.  The "hook" is to get you to believe that you
>can get something for nothing.  Currently, the program appears under the
>name "AOL4FREE.COM."  This is not the same software that AOL saturates the
>earth with to promote a free 10 hr. trial of AOL.  Ignore any desire to
>download or execute any attachment that you may receive that resembles this
>description.  Another clue is that the program is ridiculously short (993
>bytes--not KB) for what it claims to do.
