DO NOT OPEN FILE CALLED "CALIFORNIA"
Dear All:
If you receive an email with a file called "California" do not open the
file. The file contains the "WOBBLER" virus. This information was
announced yesterday morning by IBM. The report says that ..."this is a very
dangerous virus, much worse than 'Melissa' and there is NO remedy for it at
this time. Some very sick individual has succeeded 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 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 at this time. Please pass this warning to everyone in your address
book."
