This was sent to me.  I don't know how true it is.  Take it for what it is

WORST VIRUS EVER ---CNN ANNOUNCED

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON  YOUR CONTACT LIST !!
A new virus has just been discovered that has been  classified by Microsoft
as the most destructive ever This virus was discovered  yesterday afternoon
by McAfee and no vaccine has yet ! been developed.  This  virus simply
destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its
functioning are stored.

           This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself  automatically to all contacts on your list with the title
"A Card for You".  As soon as the supposed virtual card is  opened the
computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys
or the  reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector  Zero, thus
permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this
virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN. This
alert was received by an employee of  Microsoft itself.

          So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for  You."
As soon as you get the mail, delete it!!   Even if you know the sender !!!

          Please  pass this mail to all of your friends. Forward this to
everyone in  your address book. I'm sure most people, like myself, would
rather receive this notice 25 times than not at all.
