Good advice and thanks for posting the referenced URL's. While I previously lifted the earlier text from Symantec's site I neglected to post the reference. As they state: "Please ignore any messages regarding these supposed "viruses" and do not pass on any messages about them. Passing on messages about these hoaxes only serves to further propagate them." To pass them along blindly is exactly what the bozo's that create the hoaxes are hoping will happen. Also more people should just use a little common sense. If statements are being attributed to Microsoft and AOL "officials" - you probably aren't going to hear about it for the first time from Suzie in the next cubicle or your Aunt Jenney, days after the 'event'.

This is a hoax. When you say this circulated through your company email system, I'm hoping this doesn't mean it came from the MIS department. One would hope they know how to check this nonsense out before becoming a party to spreading it further. -------------------------------- Aliases: The Bud Frogs Description BUDSAVER.EXE is not a virus. It is a hoax. The "virus" does not exist. There is currently no virus that has the characteristics ascribed to BUDSAVER.EXE. It is a sham, meant only to panic new or inexperienced computer users.
