------------------------------------------------------------------
A Virus has been discovered on Internet that is disguised as CD-ROM shareware.
Unknown hackers have illegally put the Chinon name on a destructive
shareware file and released it on the Internet. This catastrophic virus
is named "CD-IT". -- DO NOT DOWNLOAD. IT WILL CORRUPT YOUR HARD DRIVE.
The program, allegedly a shareware PC utility that will convert an
ordinary CD-ROM drive into a CD-Recordable (CD-R) device, which is
technically impossible, instead destroys critical system files on a
user's hard drive. The program also immediately crashes the CPU, forces
the user to reboot and stays in memory.
Widest dissemination is requested.
