WARNING: An Apple ][e/][gs Virus under the name "CyberAIDS" is going around
         it has been known to attack ProDOS 8/16 Files, and duplicate itself
         Please Be Careful, and if you notice anything strange, MAKE A BACKUP

I cannot post more information, since no more is actually known at this time.
There is alot of mystery surronding this virus, but I know someone who was
hit.  It had a message saying "This is the first in a line of products
collectively known as Extortion-Wares".  I am not sure who is responsible,
and I am also not sure of any "Cures" which may be out.
