Hi All
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 dangerour virus, much worse than "Melissa," and
that there is NO remedy for it at this time.
Some very sick individual has cucceeded in using the reformat function from
Norton Utilities causing it to completely erase all documents on the hard drive.
It has been designed to work with Netscaoe Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer.
It destroys Macintosh and IBM compatible computers.
This is s new, ver malicious virus and not many people know about it.
Pass this warning on to EVERYONE in your address book and please share it with
all your online friends ASAP so that this threat may be stopped.
Please practise cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access to your
computer.
Forward this warning to everyone that might access the Internet.
