Budweiser Frogs Screen Saver Virus-Fiction!

bulletSummary of the eRumor
A warning of a virus being circulated as a "Budweiser Frogs" screen saver.
The eRumor says that if you download the file, it will cause you to lose every on your hard drive as well as give someone on the Internet your screen name and password.
 

 

 

bulletThe Truth
This is a time-honored hoax that has circulated far more extensively than most any real virus warning.
There is no "Budweiser Frogs" screensaver email and no Budweiser Frogs virus.
A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

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 formation 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 orany one you may not know
with
the Budweiser Frogs init

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT OR OPEN THE FILE!
