**** URGENT ****SERIOUS VIRUS WARNING ****

   WARNING
 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.
