This is a hoax. Please check these "warnings" with one of many sites on the
web.
A snippet from http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/scares/california.html
Name: California/Wobbler.
Type: Virus hoax.
Danger: NONE.
Description:
This hoax email warns that if you receive an email with an
attached file called "California", you should not open the file as it
contains the "WOBBLER" virus. It claims that this virus deletes
all the files on the hard disk, and that it can run from Netscape
Navigator or Internet Explorer, and can work on both PCs and
Macintosh computers. The hoax attributes this information to a
report from IBM.
Whilst there is a joke program called WOBBLER
or
JOKE/WIN-WOBBLE (which makes the windows on
your
computer wobble), it is not a virus, and does
not have the
side-effects described in this message. It is a
hoax.
Many virus hoaxes falsely claim to describe an
extremely dangerous virus
falsely claim that the report was issued
or confirmed by a
well-known company ask you to forward it
to all your friends and colleagues
As usual, you are urged not to pass on warnings
of this kind, as
the continued re-forwarding of hoaxes like this
simply wastes
email bandwidth.
It should be remembered that it is impossible
for a virus to exist
in the normal text portion of an email. A virus
could be carried
within a file attached to an email, but this
could only be spread by
detaching the file and executing it or (if it
contains macros)
opening it with an application that could
execute the viral macros.
