Okay folks.....listen up.....here's another possible virus that may be coming your way.......

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..

I actually had this screen saver on my work computer when I was working for a high school in CT a few years back. When the screen saver kicked in, you would hear Bud - Weis - Er come from my office. The students thought it was funny, my boss thought it was funny, but the headmaster thought differently. We came up with an agreement that I had to keep the screensaver but I had to have the volume turned off if I wasnt in the office.

You are absolutely right about that because there could be tons of viruses in the e-mail....my dad works at my school I go to and he is the TST....there and the network admin and he corrects and delete's virus files all the time at least 400 a day.
