I have just received the following ALERT > >

> > "If you receive an email titled "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus'" DO NOT open it. It will erase everything on your hard drive. Forward this letter out to as many people as you can. This is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. This information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; 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. Also, do not open or even look at any mail that says "RETURNED OR UNABLE TO DELIVER." This virus will attach itself to your computer components and render themuseless. Immediately delete any mail items that say this. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy for it at this time. Please practice cautionary measures and forward this to all your online friends ASAP." > >

THIS IS A HOAX

see http://www.av.ibm.com/BreakingNews/HypeAlert/Guts/

FYI simply opening an email cannot erase your hard drive. you have to actually run a software program with a virus in it for any virus to work.

Re: THIS IS A HOAX

Thanks for clearing that one up. This message was posted on the internal mail system of a major DR corporation.
