This is not a virus; it is a complete hoax. It is a sham, meant only to panic new or inexperienced computer users.

Sample of hoax message:

OFFICIAL IBM  VIRUS WARNING.

PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR.

***** THIS IS  NO JOKE - PAY ATTENTION: ********

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.
