    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 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. 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 maybe
    stopped. Please
    practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may
    have access to your
    computer. Forward this warning to everyone that you
    know that might access
    the Internet.

    I find it hard to believe it can/will affect Mac OS X... or is it OS 9 because that's more believeable.

    Any email that ask you to forward to everyone you know has 99.99% chance to be a chain letter.
