Virus Hoax
Wobbler Hoax (California) AVERT HOAX Notice!! NAI Labs AVERT would like to inform
you of a new email HOAX. This email message is just a HOAX, currently we know of no
other message that the user will receive about the HOAX as the initial email states.
AVERT has not received any report of a user's hard drive being erased for opening the
email. We are advising users who receive the email to delete it and DO NOT pass it on
as this is how an email HOAX propagates. Below is the actual text from the message
that may be received via email. Thought you might be interested in this message. If
you receive an email with a file called "California" do not open the file. The file
contains the "WOBBLER" virus. This information was announced yesterday morning by
IBM. The report says that ... "This is a very dangerous virus, much worse than
"Melissa" and 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 at this time. Please pass this warning to everyone in your address book and
share it with all your online friends ASAP so that the destruction it can cause may be
minimized." __________________________________ - This is the end of the email message
