The Budweiser Frog Virus Alert Is a Hoax, and Where To Go To Dispel Many a Tenacious Virus Myth

by TNPC Staff

A friend recently corresponded with us and inquired about the Budweiser Frogs virus alert, and he attached the suspicious message as well. As we explained to our associate, this is a complete hoax. When you get a piece of email like this, don't forward it to anybody! Instead, immediately go to Rob Rosenberger's Computer Virus Myths page (which you should definitely bookmark):

Then tell whoever sent you the message to stop passing the message along, puh-leeze, and point them to Rob's page. Rob's very accurate and objective in the midst of all the hoopla surrounding viruses. For the straight scoop on this particular hoax, see:

Go get 'em, Rob!
