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+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 CN N.
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.
