The Celcom Screen saver hoax has been combined with a
number of different hoaxes. The combination below is the most
common version but there are versions with other hoaxes substituted
for the following hoaxes. Please note, that although these
are hoax warnings, it's quite possible for a screen-saver
or any executable file to be destructive. NEVER accept any
files via email unless you requested the files. (There are
some real threats that can arrive such as the Melissa Virus.
This version of the Celcom combined hoax is currently the
most common form although you may see it with only warning
one or two:
WARNING No. 1 If you receive any CELCOM Screen Saver Pls.

shows a NOKIA handphone, with time messages. After it is activated,
the PC cannot boot up at all. It goes very slow. It destroys
your hard disk. The filename is CELLSAVER.EXE
WARNING No. 2 Beware! if someone named SandMan asks you
to check out his page. DO NOT! It is at www.geocities.com/vienna/6318
