It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus'

April 1999

The original email titled "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus'" is a poor
rewrite of several old hoaxes. Now that hoax has been
rewritten as an aftermath of the 'Melissa' virus outbreak.

Here is the newest version circulating the internet.

  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 IBM; 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 re-format 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 may be stopped.
Please
  practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access to
your
  computer. Forward this warning to everyone that might access the
  internet
