New Virus
Got tis warning from a friend today. Don't know if it's real, but better to be safe...
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 yesterday.
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.
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!
