This hoax alleges that if you open an email titled, "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus,'" it will erase everything on your hard drive. | | Description | If you receive an email titled "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus' DO NOT
OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard drive. This
information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL states that
this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa",
and that there is NO remedy for it at this time. Some very sick individual
has succeeded in using the re-format function from Norton Utilities
causing it to completely erase all documents on the hard drive.It has
been designed to work with Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer.It destroys MacIntosh and IBM compatible computers. This is a
new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. Pass this
warning along to EVERYONE in your address book and please share it with
all your online friends ASAP so that this threat may be stopped. Please
practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access to your
computer. Forward this warning to everyone that might access the
internet
