The Budweiser Frog virus is a HOAX.
It's been circulating around for several years. I just got the same message about two weeks ago, again, so it's making the rounds of the internet again.
If I get any messages, such as this one, the first thing I do is go to the McAfee web site and check it out. McAfee (and probably other sites) have lists of legitimate and hoax viruses.
One of the big things the hoax virus messages do is generate unnecessary e-mail all over the internet. Someone gets it and sends it to all their friends and then all their friends send it to their friends, etc, etc.
