I'm afraid this is a joke or more to the point another virus hoax. Please
check out the UM Virus Busters web site for more on this hoax:

http://www.umich.edu/~virus-busters/hoaxes/budfrogs.html

And this (and there are others like it) are good sites to check before
forwarding ANY message w/ a virus warning.

Thanks, Charles.
