READ THIS!!!!!

This information came from Microsoft yesterday morning. Please
pass it on to anyone you know who has access to the Internet.
You may receive an apparently harmless Budweiser screensaver,
entitled ?BUDDYLST.SIP?.

If you do - DO NOT OPEN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, but delete
it immediately.

Once opened, you will lose EVERYTHING on your PC. Your hard disk
will be completely destroyed and the person who sent you the
message will have access to your name and password via the Internet.

Ignore these hoax messages. Do not pass them on.  >>

<< Hoax warnings

This page is considered the industry standard information source for new
virus hoaxes and false alerts. Bookmark now. 

Hoax warnings are typically scare alerts started by malicious people -
and passed on by innocent users who think they are helping the community
by spreading the warning. 

Do not forward hoax messages. We've seen cases where e-mail systems have
collapsed after dozens of users forwarded a false alert to everybody in
the company.
Corporate users can get rid of the hoax problem by simply setting a
strict company uideline: End users must not forward virus alarms. Ever.
It's not the job of an end user anyway. If such message is received, end
users could forward it to the IT department but not to anyone else. >>
