> 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."
