Hello: Just passing a very important message that you also need too pass along too for friends that we got from our friends O.P.P. Investigations Unit.....VERY SERIOUS!!!!!
DATED: January/23/2001
There is a new virus being sent by e-mail under the name:
"CALIFORNIA IBM"
Microsoft has confirmed that the virus is stronger than the "Love Letter" virus. There is no way to save the problem with this virus, which will wipe all information from your hard disc and destroys Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer. Do not open any e-mail with this name, send this warning to all your e-mail contacts.
Only few are aware of this virus, so please convey as soon as possible.....
ALSO: Read Immediately And Pass On.
Someone is sending out a screensaver of the "Budweiser Frogs"
If you download it, you will loose everything!! Your hard drive will crash and someone on the Internet will get your screen name and password!!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! This just went into circulation yesterday..... Please distribute the message...This is a new, very malicious virus not many are aware of. This information was announced yesterday morning from Microsoft.
Please share it with anyone that might access the Internet. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that at this time there is no remedy.....
