Have just received the following a few minutes ago.
"This virus alert was just received from a very reliable source at UNISA in
Adelaide. I suggest it be taken seriously!! It may be kind to pass this
along to all your own email addresses.
Original Message ---- If you receive an e-mail 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 fromIBM (I think date may have been 2/3/00). 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 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."
keep an eye out.
