READ IMMEDIATELY (an email i got)
« on: June 30, 2003, 01:56:29 pm »
Its proven fake and has gone on long enough. *lock* -Vulture

READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW





Someone is sending out a very cute screensaver 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 Along To EVERYONE in your address book so that this may be stopped. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy for it at this time.

This is VERY important. If you receive a screen saver from a friend or anyone you may not know with the Budweiser Frogs in it, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT
OR OPEN THE FILE!

Are you serious? Is that a real virus or is it a chain letter? I'm really confused.

its a HOAX, you can look it up on MSN, enjoy the frogs if you desire....just get them from the budweiser site, which would be the normal thing to do anyways right?

This bugs the living SHIT out of me!!!

People before you send these STUPID messages out to people take the fucking 2 minutes you need to check to see if it is a hoax or not.  I highly reccommend www.snopes.com

For christ sakes this Bud Frogs HOAX has been around since 1999...

By sending out more SPAM to newsgroups, message boards, and other people's email boxes you just keep the cycle going.  Be smart computer users, please?!?

Hell, don't even pass it on if it is real! Not everyone runs Windows! I do my mail in mail.app on Mac OS X. And besides, why do you need to tell people? Most computers have several viruses on them already. They need to learn how to avoid this stuff to begin with. Or at least get a decent virus scanner.

What the hell is up with the message itself? It screams "hoax!" What screen name is it going to steal? AIM? MSN? ICQ? Forum names? Jabber? Yahoo!?

Crash my HD? Ignoring the fact that the binaries/scripts wouldn't do anything on my system, how the hell is it going to crash my HD? Corrupt it maybe. Not crash it.

Microsoft announcing it? Microsoft doesn't announce viruses.

AOL not knowing how to stop it? Seems accurate to me.

Where are the references to the AOL/Microsoft statements, residing on their public servers?

Screw it. I thought you were smarter than this, Kulp.
