Budweiser Frogs Hoax

You may receive an email from a well-meaning friend warning you about receiving an email containing a screensaver featuring the Budweiser Frog. There is no such virus -  Don't Worry!

Budweiser Frog Virus Warning Email Is A Hoax

This email hoax was first launched back in 1999 and has been intermittently circulating ever since. In mid 2005 the hoax was resurrected in slightly altered form (see above) and began spreading rapidly once again. The phrasing in the hoax is quite similar to other common virus hoaxes including the Guts to Say Jesus Virus Hoax.

There is not, nor has there ever been, a virus like the one described in these hoax messages. If you receive a Budweiser Frogs message similar to the examples shown here, do not forward it to others and let the sender know that the message is a hoax

Fake virus warnings are a common subject of hoaxes. If you receive a virus warning in the form of a forwarded email always take the time to check its veracity at an anti-hoax or virus information website before you forward it.

No real harm done if you send this but it’s not necessary. But see the http://antivirus.about.com/library/weekly/aa020102a.htm for discussion on this as well.

No need to worry!
