AOL4FREE
Description
AOL4FREE, through much iteration, has become a fraudulent computer program, a Virus Warning Hoax and Trojan horse program. When the program was first created, AOL4FREE was intended to provide illegal free access to America Online. The creator was caught and pleaded guilty to fraud. Eventually, AOL4FREE became a Virus Hoax Warning.

VIRUS ALERT!!!
DON'T OPEN E-MAIL NOTING 'AOL4FREE'
anyone who receives this must send it to as many people as you can. It is essential that this problem be reconciled as soon as possible. A few hours ago, I opened an Email that had the subject heading of 'AOL4FREE.COM'. Within seconds of opening it, a window appeared and began to display my files that were being deleted. I immediately shut down my computer, but it was too late. This virus wiped me out. It ate the Anti-Virus Software that comes with Windows '95 Program along with F-Prot AVS. Neither was able to detect it. Please be careful and send this to as many people as possible, so maybe this new virus can be eliminated. More recently, AOL4FREE has become a Trojan horse program. When executed, this program has been shown to destroy the hard drives. It contains a simple batch file, which when executed will run the DOS DELTREE command to delete all files within its directory and any subdirectories that might exist. If you receive an email message from an unknown source with the subject 'AOL4FREE' and an attached file, simply delete the email message.

yea i was looking some of those Hoaxes over at the site and seen AOL type hoaxes.

here a one i never seen? the Clinton Family

Hillary Clinton and the Black Panther Trial?
Remember this is a fake news'
Description

This email hoax, which reeks of political propaganda, is a direct attack on Hillary Rodham Clinton. It labels Clinton a Black Panther defender and exaggerates her role in a late 60s New Haven trial, where several Black Panthers were accused of the torture and murder of Alex Rackley. More reliable sources place Clinton as a Yale student leader at that time, but only as one of many who held protests in favor of a just trial for the accused, and not in defense of the murder of Rackley. The protests, contrary to what is said on this hoax email, were nonviolent and did not “shut down” the university.

This hoax has evolved from earlier samples that tried to sway users against Clinton’s senate candidacy to more updated versions that target her alleged plan to run for president. A latter version, which we have here, mentions Paul Harvey as its source – an obvious attempt by its circulators to save its faltering credibility.

This email message is obviously a one-sided demolition job that is bent on destroying a personality at the expense of the truth. It should not be circulated.

THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES.

By Paul Harvey - Conveniently Forgotten Facts Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was suspected of disloyalty.

Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him.

When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn.

Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers. In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard, and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State College. Isn't that something?

As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head, and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean! Only in America!

Erica Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board.

How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers.

These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial.

One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton.

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean? No, neither! The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time. She is now known as The "smartest woman in the world."

She is none other than the Democratic senator from the State of New York----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And now, as Paul Harvey said; You know "the rest of the story". Pass this on! This deserves the widest possible press. Also remember it, if and when she runs for President!
