Au d�but, je pensais comme toi. Mais je me suis fait "rappeler � l'ordre"
par un ami. En fait, il ne faut pas toujours se fier � ce qu'on t'envoie.
Voila le mail d'explication que j'ai re�u.
Amicalement,
Nicolas Accardo.

Salut Nicolas,
Merci pour l'information concernant le screensaver de Budweisser.
Mais je pense que je n'aurais jamais installe une telle horreur parce
que les screensaver les plus classiques sont les plus appropries dans le
milieu professionnel.
Maintenant es-tu sur que ce fameux screen saver existe? Est-ce que tu as
verifie sur un site web d'editeur d'anti virus que celui-la etait connu
? Es-tu au courant que certaines personnes envoie ce qu'on appelle des
"hoax", en francais: des canulars.
voici une adresse d'un editeur d'antivirus :
http://www.DataFellows.com/virus-info/
et je peux t'assurer que ces gens sont tres vite au courant des derniers
virus.
Et voici ce qu'ils en disent :
> F-Secure Hoax Warnings Pages
>
> NAME:
> BuddyLst hoax
> ALIAS:
> BuddyList hoax
>
>
> This is a hoax warning about a non-existing virus
>called BUDDYLST or BUDDYLIST.
> Here's an example of the hoax.
>
> A computer virus is going around! It is called
>BUDDYLST.ZIP! Do
> not download or some jerk from the Internet will get
>your screen
> name and password! Please send this to any names you
>can think
> of and remember never download BUDDYLST.ZIP
>
> There's another variant of this hoax.

> Yesterday a friend of mine called and told me about
>something
> that happened to him. He opened his Email and this
>BUDDYLST.ZIP

>when he

>Internet.
> You may receive an apparently harmless Budweiser
>screensaver,
> entitled ?BUDDYLST.SIP?.
>
> If you do - DO NOT OPEN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
>but delete

>
> Once opened, you will lose EVERYTHING on your PC. Your
>hard disk

>the
> Internet.
>
> As far as we know, the virus was circulated yesterday
>morning.
> It?s a new virus, and extremely dangerous. Please
>copy this

>book.
>
> We need to do all we can to block this virus.
>
> AOL has confirmed how dangerous it is, and there is no
>Antivirus
> programme as yet which is capable of destroying it.
>
> Please take all the necessary precautions, and pass

> Yet another version has appeared recently:
>
> Subject: Virus Warning - Extremely Dangerous ***
>
> Please post this Notice on your computer:
> DO NOT OPEN any E-Mail with a Subject Line of either
>
> "BUDDYLST.SIP" or "PICTURES"
