This is not a joke This information came from Microsoft. Please pass it on to anyone you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless Budweiser screen saver, entitled BUDDYLST.SIP. If you do -DO NOT OPEN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, but delete it immediately. Once opened, you will lose EVERYTHING on your PC. Your hard disc will be completely destroyed and the person who sent you the message will have access to your name and password via the Internet. As far as we know, the virus was circulated yesterday morning. It's a new virus, and extremely dangerous. Please copy this information and e-mail it to everyone in your address book. We need to do all we can to block this virus. AOL has confirmed how dangerous it is, and there is no anti-virus program yet, which is capable of destroying it. Please take all the necessary precautions and pass this information on to your friends, acquaintances and work colleagues
