It isn't clear how accurate (or relevant to your situation) this
information is, but forwarned is forarmed.  Similarly, sorry for
cross-postings.

  Everyone should be aware of the program described in the following
  message.  We don't want to have to restore any files for anyone...

    I have just been informed by a friend of mine here at U.C.S.B.
    that there is a program being passed around via ARPAnet (and
    also some other computer networks) that is called "turkey".  The
    instructions that are sent with the program say that when
    compiled and run the program will draw a nice picture of a
    turkey.  I have been informed that the program is a (not very
    funny) joke.  It does not draw a turkey, but it does erase all
    of the unprotected files in your directory.  You might want to
    pass this information along to people you know who use the
    network, as I am doing.
