Budweiser Frogs Virus Hoax

Another one of my favorites due to the fact the author uses a highly popular television advert to lul people into believing it. This one is a proper hoax with every element included that a hoax should have. It's so hoaxie It make my toes tingle : - )

It uses a popular theme.
It uses the element of fear.
It offers up useful information.
It asks to be forwarded on.

Budweiser Frogs hoax as follows;

READ ASAP...DO NOT DELETE...VERY IMPORTANT

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 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!

Press the forward button on your email program and send this notice to
EVERYONE you know. Let's keep our email safe for everyone.

Just remember, this is a HOAX, not true.. However do beware of imitations which may have attachments containing virus's/trojans!
