The most common form of this hoax reads:

We just received this information from a pretty reliable source and want to pass it on:

If you receive an email with a file called "California" DO NOT OPEN IT!!. The email contains the "WOBBLER" virus. This information was announced yesterday morning by IBM. The report says that....."this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa" and 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 at this time. Please pass this warning to everyone in your address book and share it with all your online friends ASAP so that the destruction it can cause may be minimized."
