The Wobbler virus was supposed to be in a file named "California." Both the virus and the file are a hoax.
DescriptionSubject: FW: New Virus Warning
Dear ALL
Thought you might be interested in this message. If you receive an email
with a file called "California" do not open the file. The file
contains the "WOBBLER" virus.

This information was announced yesterday morning by IBM. The report says
..."this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa"
and there is NO remedy for it at this time. Some very sick individual
has succeeded in using the reformat 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. destroys Macintosh and IBM compatible computers. This is a
new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it at this
time. Please pass this warning to everyone in your address book and share
it all your online friends asap so that the destruction it can cause
may be minimized"

All the best
Dan

And a French Version.

Dans le cas ou l'information suivante puisse vous servir un jour je vous la
transmet.

J'ai été informe par mail d'un nouveau virus-WOBBLER. Il est transmis par un
mail intitule CALIFORNIA. IBM et AOL ont annonce qu'il serait très puissant,
encore plus que Melissa (connaît pas pour ma part!), et il n'y a pas de
remède (plus embêtant!). Il dévorerait toutes les informations situées sur
votre disque dur et détruirait également Netscape Navigator et Microsoft
Internet Explorer. N'ouvrez pas de mail intitule ainsi et transmettez ce
message a tous vos contacts.
