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 on Please

A well known hoax email that's been around for 10 years or so. Do a Google search for details.

I trust you ignored it and binned it immediately, as you should do with any such stupid emails.

Do you believe everything you get in an email?

I do wish people who think they are doing us a favour by passing on such rubbish as this would think twice before sending it round the world.

I hope you were not stupid enough to pass the email on to any of your friends.

If you get crap like this in future just delete it.

What do you mean don't believe everything you get in an email?

Does this mean I've not won ?50 million pounds in the Nigerian lottery?

I've gone and sent the guy my bank account details now so he can pay the cheque in.

Funny thing is I can't remember buying a ticket.

Anyone who opens an unscanned attachment is a fool.
