Sorry to disappoint you all, but the Bud Frogs Screensaver Virus is a known hoax. Please check the following links:

Hey Gang,

    I got the following from my daughter, the company she works for is one of
the victims (yeah, curious George over there opened it). Additionally our Help
Desk got alerted that this comes attached to some messages from TAARCOM. Read &
Beware:

READ THIS IMMEDIATELY!  Someone is sending out a very cute screen saver of the  Budweiser Frogs. If you download it, you will lose  everything! Your hard drive will crash and someone  from the Internet will get your screen name and  password!

 DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!  It just went into circulation yesterday, as far as we  know. Please distribute this message. This is a new,  very malicious virus and not many people know about  it. This information was announced yesterday morning  from Microsoft. Please share it with everyone that  might access the Internet.

 Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in your  address book so that this may be stopped. AOL has said  this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO  remedy for it at this time. Please practice  cautionary measures and forward this to all your  on-line friends.
