Hi all,
I thought I had better pass this on just in case. Don't know if it's a hoax,
but better safe than sorry.
Best wishes - Gail

WARNING If you receive an email titled "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus' DO NOT
OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard drive. This information was
announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL states that this is a very
dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa", and that there is NO remedy for
it at this time. Some very sick individual has succeeded in using the
re-format 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.
Pass this warning along to EVERYONE in your address book and please share it
with all your online friends ASAP so that this threat may be stopped.
Please practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access to
your computer. Forward this warning to everyone that might access the
internet.
