Read the warning about the Kali virus and ‘let’s watch TV’ — and learn if it’s true or an urban legend

Is the Kali Virus Real?

If you receive an email titled "Lets watch TV", DO NOT OPEN IT. This Virus will erase everything on your hard drive. This information was announced yesterday morning by IBM.

America On Line states that “KALI” is a very dangerous virus, much worse than “Melissa”, and 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.

Editors Note: Not true. The kali virus is yet another urban legend.
