Budweiser frog screensaver crashes computer?

[BarbaraL]

Hi, everyone. I just received an Email warning me of a cute screensaver of the Budweiser frogs that is being circulated. If you download it, you'll lose everything on your hard drive.

Anyone know if this is real or is a hoax?

It's a Hoax (http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/budfrogs.asp) That's the link to Snopes. :)

Snopes is designed for exactly this sort of verification, and it's easily found on the internet. I'm really getting tired of people posting/forwarding with out doing their own legwork.

Get off your lazy butt and check for yourself.

I always use snopes or the urban legends website, but it's a pretty sure bet that if you get any forwarded warning of any kind....it's a hoax. Not always, but often enough.
