When receiving a virus warning such as this one it is a good idea to look it up
on a site that covers virus warnings such as the following:
http://www.virusbtn.com/Hoax/hoaxlist.html
This site is the Virus Bulletin and lists both actual viruses and hoaxes.  The
"Budweiser Frogs" is a known hoax.  Checking before passing these on saves a lot
unnecessary emails.
