A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/) and by McAfee (http://www.mcafee.com/
)
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.
according to news broadcast by CNN (http://www.cnn.com/). 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 on this mail to all your friends. Forward this to everyone in
your address book. I would rather receive this 25 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.
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!
