Virus hoax

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 yesterday morning from 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.
.........

It goes on for about 1/2 page.

I received this "warning" earlier today.
Looking at the list of people it's been sent to, I think have of the UK/USA must have gotten it by now.

It's a total hoax, just designed to get people worried.

Symantec info

So, if anyone gets it, don't bother sending it on.

419,

Seems there are more and more of those types of hoaxes out there now. You can get a good list of them here too:
