Just thought i would let you all in on a new development that threatens us all.
Please read below!!

URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS
FOR.

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
reformat function from
Norton Utilities causing it to completely y 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 co imputable
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 maybe stopped.
Please practice cautionary measures and tell
anyone
that may have access to
your computer. Forward this warning to everyone
that you know that might access the Internet.

No, don't do that. Ever.

I cannot think of even one single email that included a line like this that turned out to be genuine.

ALWAYS check anything which tells you to pass it on to everyone. You have no excuse for not checking - if you are computer savvy enough to post here then you are savvy enough to use a search engine with a line of the text from the email.

NEVER simply re-send messages without checking no matter how good you think the cause.
