Mac called a MacIntosh??

**** URGENT ****SERIOUS VIRUS WARNING ****
WARNING
If you receive an email titled "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus'"
DO NOT OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard drive.
This information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL
states that this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than
"Melissa",
and that there is NO remedy for it at this time.
Some very sick individual has succeeded in using the re-format
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.
Pass this warning along to EVERYONE in your address book
and please share it with all your online friends ASAP so that this
threat may be stopped. Please practice cautionary measures and tell
anyone that may have access to your computer. Forward this warning to
everyone that might access the internet.
