Nathan, It doesn't help anyone when these sorts of emails are propagated without the person in question (you) researching the material first.
Please refer to http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jesus-hoax.html <http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jesus-hoax.html> for info on this so-called virus.

Have just received the following a few minutes ago. "This virus alert was just received from a very reliable source at UNISA in Adelaide. I suggest it be taken seriously!! It may be kind to pass this along to all your own email addresses. Original Message ---- If you receive an e-mail 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 fromIBM (I think date may have been 2/3/00). 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 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." keep an eye out. Ridgey
