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 AOL and 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.
