Hello to all, be aware of this VERY BAD VIRUS, please read below. 

I must get this virus sent to me a dozen times a day.  Fortunately my

ISPs (GWI) server has McAfee Spam/Virus filter and they get picked

and quarentened. I do have to go into my file on the server and delete 
them. 

Well worth the time.  See notice below.             J. B. Randall

 BAD - BAD VIRUS...IMPORTANT TO READ

 THIS IS VERY, VERY  REAL.

 Please don't  open any "greeting card" e-mails unless you know  who 
they're  from.

 WORST VIRUS EVER --- CNN  ANNOUNCED

 PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE  ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

  A new virus  has just been discovered that has be en classified  by
 Microsoft as the most destructive  ever. This virus was discovered
yesterday  afternoon by McAfee . 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",  "A Card for you from a classmate,"  "A Card from a 
friend." etc.*

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.
