Very 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 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 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.

Doesn't seem to be the same virus but here is an email I got today from McAfee

Quote:

W32/Bagle@MM is a Medium Risk mass-mailing worm with a
potentially dangerous remote access component. Similar to
last summer's Sobig virus, W32/Bagle@MM arrives as an
executable attachment inside an email (subject line: "Hi"). When run, the virus checks the system date -- if January 28,
2004 or later, the virus simply exits and does not propagate.
Otherwise, the virus emails itself to addresses it steals
from the infected computer, spoofing the "from: field" with
one of the harvested addresses.

Note: The virus does not mass-mail itself to addresses that
contain:

- @hotmail.com
- @msn.com
- @microsoft
- @avp

------------------------------------------------------------
What to look for:

From: (address may be forged)
Subject: Hi
Body:
Test =)
(random characters)
--
Test, yep.

Attachment: (random filename) 15,872 bytes
