Christmas Viruses -- Oh goody

[Guest guest]

I got a virus alert from the IS Dept. at work today and thought I'd pass

the info along. If you have received Elf Bowling or Frogapult games that

have been

circulating the internet, or know anyone who has, they MUST BE DELETED

before Christmas day. They contain viruses that are set to go off on

Christmas day and will delete your hard drive.

I was just told by a friend that this is a hoax, but I feel the same as

you, . Fortunately I don't have either of those files; but if I did

I'd rather delete them than take any chances. They're only games or

something, right? What's the harm in just deleting them and breathing just

a little easier?

I know that most virus alerts are hoaxes, but since this one came to me

from my company's IS Dept., I naturally gave it more credence.
