Subject: FW: VIRUS ALERT Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 14:17:12 +0100 Subject: Virus Alert Importance: High I received this message today. Please forward it on. There is a new virus - WOBBLER. It will arrive on e-mail titled "CALIFORNIA". IBM and AOL have announced that it is very powerful, more so than Melissa, there is no remedy. It will eat all your information on the hard drive and also destroys Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Do not open anything with this title and please pass this message on to all your contacts and anyone who uses your e-mail facility. Not many people seem to know about this yet, so propagate it as fast as possible. If you receive an e-mail titled "Win A. Holiday", 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 Microsoft.
