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.
