WOBBLER

Le fin du fin en matière de réaction.
Le virus est reconnu comme un pseudo virus, mais le message est tout de même diffusé à grande échelle.
Cette fois, contrairement à CALIFORNIA IBM les éditeurs d'anti-virus sont de la partie, donnant un aspect de danger bien réel au lecteur victime.

A new hoax message warning about Wobbler virus appeared in 1999.
This virus does not exist. However, there is a joke program
called 'Joke.Win.Aloap' that is detected by Solomon as 'Wobbling
Trojan'. The hoax message looks like this:

WARNING: If you receive an e-mail with a file called
California, do not open the file. The file contains the WOBBLER
virus. 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. Pass
this warning along to EVERYONE in your address book ASAP so that
this threat may be stopped.
There is Another version of this hoax:

Subject: FW: WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
Importance: High
A serious virus warning folks. The following has been confirmed
by F-Secure (Datafellows):
A new virus | WOBBLER will be launched in 7 to 10 days time. It
will coincide with some presidential happening in Los Angeles in
the USA. It will arrive on an e-mail titled "CALIFORNIA". This
virus is announced to be more powerful and destructive than
MELISSA and of course there is NO REMEDY as yet.
If you should open anything with title then kiss all your hard
drive information good bye. It will also destroy Netscape
Navigator and Internet Explorer.
This information can be verified by AOL, IBM and Datafellows
(old F-PROT).
PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
Have a nice day!
F-Secure has never confirmed the existance of such a virus.

Recently, a new twist of this hoax came into existence:

A new virus
It will arrive on e-mail titled "CALIFORNIA". IBM and AOL have
announced that it is VERY powerful, more so than Melissa,there
is no remedy.

message on to all your contacts and anyone who uses your e-mail
facility. Not many people seem to know about this yet, so
propagate it as fast as possible!

There exists a mixture of Wobbler and How to Give A Cat a Colonic hoaxes:

Subject: New Virus I have been informed of a new virus | WOBBLER.
