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
