     PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR.



     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.
