This from another Forum:-
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. (Today is March 12 2003)

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 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 or anyone! you!may not know with the Budweiser Frogs in it, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT OR OPEN THE FILE!

Thanks for the warning!!!
A friend of mine had a similar thing a few weeks ago, she lost everything and has had to replace her hard-drive.

Hi Redder:
This is probably a hoax.

One giveaway is the reference to Microsioft.
Microsoft Don't issue virus warnings.

Byter,

I keep that site in my favs, so
that I can check into this sort
of thing BEFORE I forward anything!

Too many hoaxes are being forwarded
and THAT in itself is the virus!

I hope everyone sees your post and
saves your link!

Better to be safe than sorry. I'll avoid it at all costs. Thanks Redder and Byter.

I guess I'm safe. I HATE the Budweiser Frogs; once a year during the Super Bowl is enough for me. NOW, if it was a Tommy Lee Jones screensaver, I'd have to re-think (sigh). LOL

Thanks redder and Byter.
