Subject: FW: CNN announces worst virus ever
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+
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
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.
