No nie! I Ty też, Brutusie? A fe, tak dać się nabrać
jak jakiś pierwszy-lepszy lamer! Zanim się uwierzy
w tego typu historyjkę, warto sprawdzić stronę
programu Norton Antivirus (a ściślej, podstronę nt.
tego typu dowcipów)

Someone is sending out a screen-saver of the Budweiser
frogs. If you download it, you will lose everything!
Your hard drive will crash and someone from the
Internet will get your screen name and password!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! It
just went into circulation yesterday, as far as we
know. Please distribute this message. This is a new,
very malicious virus and not many people know about it.
This information was announced yesterday morning from
Microsoft. Please share it with everyone that might
access the Internet.
Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in your address
book so that this may be stopped. AOL has said that this
is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy for
it at this time.
Please practice cautionary measures and forward this to
all your contacts.
Please ignore any messages regarding this supposed "virus" and
do not pass on any messages regarding it. Passing on messages
about this hoax serves only to further propagate it.
