I just came across this on another board;

If you receive an email titled,

"It takes Guts to say Jesus"

Don't open it!! It will erase everything on your hard drive. Just a warning...

Sorry, folks, but this is a hoax virus that has been circulating on the internet since 1998.

OMG Barbara, my apologies!

Here is the original post I found this on;

http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ppttcmiss&msg=51673.1&ctx=2048

I posted this warning on two other boards, BEFORE I received your reply.

May I post the link to your reply to me, on the posts I made, to set the record straight?
