I don't know if this is true, old, or what, but I thought I would pass it along ... isn't there a web site to check this stuff out?
t.

READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW !

Someone is sending out a very cute screensaver of the Budweiser Frogs.

If you download it, you will lose everything! Your hard drive will crash
and someone from the Internet will get your screen name and password!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

It just went into circulation.

Please distribute this message. This is a new, very malicious virus and
not many people know about it. This information was announced yesterday
morning from Microsoft. Please share it with everyone that might access
the Internet.

Once again, Pass This Along To EVERYONE in your address book so that
this may be stopped. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus
and that there is NO remedy for it at this time.

This is VERY important. If you receive a screen saver from a friend or
anyone you may not know with the Budweiser Frogs in it, DO NOT DOWNLOAD
IT OR OPEN THE FILE!

Press the forward button on your email program and send this notice to
EVERYONE you know. Let's keep our email safe for everyone.
