Wobbler and California Virus Hoax

    May 1999

    The Wobbler virus was supposed to be in a file named California.
    Both the virus and the file are a hoax. There is a report from IBM
    on Wobbler but like this page, it says that wobbler is a hoax.
    Subject: FW: New Virus Warning Dear ALL 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 ..."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. 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 all your online friends asap so that
    the destruction it can cause may be minimized"

    All the best Dan


    And a French Version. Dans le cas ou l'information suivante puisse
    vous servir un jour je vous la transmet.

    J'ai �t� informe par mail d'un nouveau virus-WOBBLER. Il est
    transmis par un mail intitule CALIFORNIA. IBM et AOL ont annonce
    qu'il serait tr�s puissant, encore plus que Melissa (conna�t pas
    pour ma  part!), et il n'y a pas de rem�de (plus emb�tant!). Il
    d�vorerait toutes les informations situ�es sur votre disque dur et
    d�truirait �galement Netscape Navigator et Microsoft Internet
    Explorer. N'ouvrez pas de mail intitule ainsi et transmettez ce
    message a tous vos contacts.
