Just thought that I would pass along some new information from Microsoft on
2 very deadly computer viruses being passed around right now.  Please take
heed!


Subject: WARNING

If you receive an email titled "It Takes Guts to Say
'Jesus' DO NOT OPEN IT.  It will erase everything on
your hard drive.

This information was announced yesterday morning from
IBM; AOL states that this is a very dangerous virus,
much worse than "Melissa", and that there is NO remedy
for it at this time.

Some very sick individual has succeeded in using the
re-format function from Norton Utilities causing it to
completely erase all documents on the hard drive. It
has been designed to work with Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer.

It destroys MacIntosh and IBM compatible computers.
This is a new, very malicious virus and not many
people know about it.

Pass this warning along to EVERYONE in your address
book and please share it with all your online friends
ASAP so that this threat may be stopped. Please
practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that
may have access to your computer.  Forward this
warning to everyone that might access the internet.

Someone is also sending out a very desirable screen-saver, the Budweiser

Frogs
"BUDDYLST.ZIP". If you download it, you will lose everything!!! Your
hard
drive will crash and someone from the Internet will get your screen name
and
password! DO NOT DOWN LOAD THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! IT JUST WENT
INTO
circulation yesterday, 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 along to EVERYONE in your address book so that
this may
be stopped. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that
there
is NO remedy for it at this time.
