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 withthe 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.
