WORST EVER VIRUS (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 Virtual 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.
>
>Please pass this mail to all of your friends. Forward this to everyone
in
>your address book.
>I would rather receive this many times than not at all.
>
>Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was
discovered
>recently. If you receive an email called "An Internet Flower For You,"
do
>not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link
>libraries (dll files) from your computer. Your computer will not be
able to
>boot up !!
