Bud Frogs Screen Saver
January 1997
The Bud Frogs screensaver is a legitimate program and the warning
about it is a hoax. Keep in mind that this or any executable program
could be infected with a virus so take care if you get a copy from a
third party. Any legitimate program could also be replaced with a
Trojan program by simply changing the Trojan's name to that of the
legitimate program. As with any program, you should never run one
obtained from unknown sources because you run the risk of running a
virus or Trojan Horse. Try to get your programs from the original
site and scan them with antivirus software just to be sure they are
not infected. DANGER!!! VIRUS ALERT!!!
THIS IS A NEW TWIST. SOME CREEPOID SCAM-ARTIST IS SENDING OUT A
VERY DESIRABLE SCREEN-SAVER (THE BUD FROGS). BUT IF YOU DOWN-LOAD
IT, YOU'LL LOSE EVERYTHING!!!!! YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL CRASH!!
DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!
IT JUST WENT INTO CIRCULATION YESTERDAY, AS FAR AS WE KNOW....BE
CAREFUL.
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE...THANX
BELOW IS WHAT THE SCREENSAVER PROGGIE WOULD LOOK LIKE!
