This one is still looking for a name!
Warning from the Department of Energy:
There's a new computer virus on the loose that's worse than
anything we've seen before! It gets in through the power line,
riding on the powerline 60 Hz subcarrier. It works by changing the
serial port pinouts, and by reversing the direction the hard disk
spins, creating demonic messages. Over 300,000 systems have been hit
by it here in Medford, Oregon in just 45 minutes.
It attacks DOS, Unix, TOPS-20, Apple-II, VMS, MVS, Multics, Mac,
RSX-11, ITS, TRS-80, System7, OS-X, all Windows and VHS systems.
To prevent the spread of this virus (technically a trojan worm):
1) Don't use the powerline.
2) Don't use batteries either, since there are rumors that this
virus has invaded most major battery plants and is infecting the
positive poles of batteries. (You might try hooking up just
the negative pole.)
3) Don't upload or download files.
4) Don't store files on floppy disks or hard disks.
5) Don't read e-mail messages.
6) Don't use serial ports, modems, or phone lines.
7) Don't use keyboards, screens, or printers.
8) Don't use switches, CPUs, memories, microprocessors, or
mainframes.
9) Don't use anything that could create 60 Hz vibrations like
electric lights, electric or gas heat or airconditioning,
running water, writing, fire, clothing or anything that has
wheels.
We are sure, if we are all careful to follow these 9 easy steps,
this virus can be eradicated. Notify as many of your friends as
you can immediately.

Oh no!! More!!
Politically-Correct Virus -- Never identifies itself as a "virus," but instead refers to itself as an "electronic micro-organism."
Paul Revere Virus -- This revolutionary virus does not horse around. It warns you of impending hard disk attack: Once, if by LAN; twice if by C.
