Circulating on the Internet is an e-mail message addressing an America Online 4.0 Upgrade. You should never receive an AOL upgrade via e-mail because according to America Online: "AOL does not circulate ANYTHING to customers by way of e-mail with attached files. All AOL software is distributed through keyworded download areas on the service." The following is the e-mail message being circulated:
Attention Friends
Another scam on the lurch on the AOL net.... BEWARE !!!!!!
If you receive an e-mail that is titled "Fwd: America Online 4.0
Upgrade" or has an attached file called "Setup40.exe" Do not download

SCREEN NAME and your PASSWORD to two or more people during two blackouts
of your computer screen. DO NOT DOWNLOAD DELETE IT!!!
Please E-Mail this letter to as many people as possible to avoid
