Re: computerdisc-l: VIRUS ALERT

I received "It Takes Guts to Say Jesus" last year with no virus results.  It is a beautiful story of faith and witness.  It is really a shame if a virus has been attached to this beautiful story.  I wonder if the scare has been added to keep us from hearing it.

I was warned yesterday about a virus that is going around, and I wanted to inform others that may not be aware of it.

 

VIRUS WARNING

 

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 is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it.  This information was announce Thursday 18 of Feb.  from IBM. 

Please pass this information along to EVERYONE in you address book so that this may be stopped.

 

Also, do not open or even look at mail that says "RETURNED OR UNABLE TO DELIVER."  This virus will attach itself to your computer and render it useless.  Immediately delete any mail items that say this.  AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy for it at this time.

 

Please practice cautionary measures and forward this to all your online friends.

 

The above warning was passed around school on Monday and I wanted to share it with you.
