Default Beware..warning
READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW


Someone is sending out a very cute screen saver 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. 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 on Please

As Castaline has pointed out the majority of these alerts are hoaxes put out by kids who lack the know-how to write a real virus. They have a similar effect though as everyone passes on what they think is a genuine warning to everyone they know.

Yet another hoax, been around for five years or more. No mention of it on MS site. Check these two.
Symantec Security Response - BUDDYLST.ZIP
Budweiser Frogs Virus Hoax

You can usually find these things on Google, saves a lot of messing about.
