Really Dangeous screensaver

DANGEROUS SCREENSAVER WARNING - THE BUDWEISER FROGS You may have already received a warning about a screensaver featuring the Budweiser Frogs, which contains a particularly nasty virus. This global note should alert everyone in the business, so it should avoid the need to pass on further warnings internally.

If you download the screensaver, 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!

AOL and Microsoft have reportedly both issued warnings about this very dangerous virus for which there is NO remedy 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< /SPAN> in it, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT OR OPEN THE FILE!
Let's keep our email safe for everyone.

Please note - the Budweiser Frogs virus does not exist. It is a hoax message. If you receive a Budweiser Frogs virus message please do not forward it to others.
Sorry just trying to help people

I feel so foolish, I downloaded it and it stole my sandwiches and my apple and is trying to claim my house.

WHY ME?:o *sobs on keyboard*

It's a pity there's no remedy for the people who'd actually want the blinkin' Budweiser frogs on their screen in the first place.

BTW, if you don't pass this post on to 30 people, all your furniture will turn into asparagus.

Cor Blimey this ones old! 4 or 5 years I reckon...

To the OP, thanks for headsup on these things, but to avoid falling into this trap again, take a look at somewhere like https://www.vmyths.com before posting. Alos look at some of the bigger anti-virus players sites, they quite often have hoax sections...

I used to run a helpdesk and got SO many of these emails from helpful users I ended up putting together a template to reply to them with....
