WOBBLER Virus Hoax
Aliases: California
Known Variants: Hoax
Infection Length: Hoax
Area of Infection: Hoax
Likelihood: Hoax
Region Reported: email
Characteristics: Hoax
Description:
The following two messages have been sent out by email. They are both
versions of the same hoax. This "virus" does not exist.
The hoax message includes one of the following "warnings":
Dear All,
For your reference, take necessary precautions.
If you receive an email with a file called
California, do not open the file.  The file
contains WOBBLER virus.
WARNING
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 reformat 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.
Second sample of hoax message "warning":
VIRUS ALERT

***Per favore ignorate ogni messaggio che parli di questa "burla" e non fate
circolare nessun messaggio che la riguardi. Far circolare messaggi circa
questa burla serve solo a propagarla ulteriormente.

stessa cosa qualche tempo fa e la mailbox mi si è caricata di v@ff@n...
Consolati.....
