this virus is a hoax that's been circulating the internet in various forms
for a while.  please verify virus warnings on McAfee or Symantec's website
before you send them to a list.

Hi

This information came from Microsoft yesterday
morning. Please pass it on to anyone you know who
has access to the  Internet. You may receive an
apparently harmless Budweiser screensaver,
entitled "BUDDYLST.SIP". If you do - DO NOT OPEN
IT UNDER ANY  CIRCUMSTANCES, but delete it
immediately.  Once opened, you will  loose
EVERYTHING on your PC. Your hard drive disk will
be completely  destroyed and the person who sent
it to you will have access to your  name and
password via the internet. As far as we know this
was  circulated yesterday morning. It's a new
virus, and extremely  dangerous. Please copy this
information and e-mail it to everyone in  your
address book. We need to do all we can to block
this virus. AOL has  confirmed how dangerous it
is, and there is no Anti Virus program yet  which
is capable of destroying it. Please take all  the
necessary precautions, and pass on all this
information to your friends,  acquaintances and
work colleagues.

Alfred
