Everyone please read this warning
got this this at 7:30 p.m. EST
I have not received it here but this warning came from a very reliable source.

READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS IT ON URGENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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 ,So be careful

.....and predictable....
The real clue that this is absolutely bogus is the explanation that "the virus just went into circulation yesterday" ...AND...."Microsoft announced it yesterday".

Microsoft that much on top of security issues?....yeah, right!

I don't much like Bud anyway, and them frogs annoy me almost as that gecko. Besides I haven't seen a frog commercial in years.

OMG! Now I'll be getting this crap from my brother in law, friend # 1 and friend #2... etc...

How can I tell them that just because it says "send this to everyone you know" that YOU DON'T HAVE TO send this to everyone you know?????????

Re: Everyone Please Read.

I love reading all those emails that the first thing they say is "this is verified by snopes"
They almost always a load of poopy...
I cousin sends them to me about 4 a week, finally had to put her on a blocked sender list for spaming me...

I posted it immediately I received it fearing the worst.
I would rather do that and it be a hoax than do nothing and post afterwards that I knew all about it, said nothing and many iboaters suffered because of it.
The same posters that mock it would most likely be upset that nothing was mentioned if that was the case !!!

Re: Everyone Please Read.

Another clue of a hoax is the "Send this to everyone you know..." type of statement. Just another attempt to clutter servers around the world.

We all have security programs on our computers, right?!

Seriously. It usually only takes a minute to check Snopes before posting it.
