PLEASE READ
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 in your EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK 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+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.
