> A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
> Microsoft ( www.microsoft.com <http://www.microsoft.com> ) and by
> McAfee ( www.mcafee.com <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.
> Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York,
> 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!!
