>>> 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 information was
>>>announced last week by 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 may be
>>>stopped.
>>>Please practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access
>>>to your computer.
