INTERNET VIRUS ALERT!
Dear sumo fans:
This is not a sumo-related message. This might be more important for you
than sumo, if that is possible.
I received this message from the net. I have not confirmed if this report
is legitimate or not, but in case you are about to face this problem, I am
sending this forward to you.

>>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.
