Elf Bowling Virus

Bowling

Is the email about the elf bowling virus true -- or is it an urban legend or hoax?

Elf Bowling Virus

If you have received Elf Bowling or Frogapult games that have been circulating the internet, or know anyone who has, they MUST BE DELETED before Christmas day.

THEY CONTAIN VIRUSES THAT ARE SET TO GO OFF ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND WILL DELETE YOUR HARD DRIVE.

If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Our IT guy here just tested it on a non-networked PC, and everything was wiped out.

Make certain that every copy is off of your hard drive or any servers.

Please spread the word. These games are very detrimental to your computing life.

Editors Note: It's a hoax about a fake virus.
