Re: (meteorobs) Fwd: Fw: E-mail virus warning.
Please check the online sources for virus alerts - this particular hoax is
from January 1997, and as far as the information from the following site
goes, this is and has always been a hoax. There are other sites to get
info from as well. I know viruses can be scary (appropriate for this
Halloween week!), but check them out before sending on the warning. We'll
never end virus hoaxes, but we can stay informed. Clear skies.

Hello everyone
My brother just sent this info to me and considering he works for the IRS
and
has never sent anything like this to me before, I felt the need to
distribute
this to as many folks as possible.
Good luck and may you be blessed with beautifully clear skies----is cloudy

Someone is sending out a very desirable screen-saver, the Budweiser Frogs.
"BUDDLST.ZIP". If you download it, you will lose everything!! Your
harddrive will crash and someone will get your screen name & password! DO
NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! It just went into circulation a
few days ago, as far as we know. Please distribute this message. This is
a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. This
information was announced yesterday morning from Microsoft. Please share
it with everyone that might access the internet. Once again pass this to
everyone in your address book so that it may be stopped. Also do not open
or even look at any mail that says RETURNED OR UNABLE TO DELIVER. This
virus will attach itself to your computer components and render them
useless. Immediately delete mail items that say this. AOL has said that
this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy for it at this
time. Please practice cautionary measures and forward this to all your
on-line friends. ASAP
F.Y.I. I received this message yesterday from our internal cybercops . .
