QUOTE:

                    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 that ... "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. It 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 with all your online friends ASAP so that the destruction it can
                    cause may be minimized."
