>Subject: Fw: Virus Warning
> A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft
( www.microsoft.com ) and by McAfee (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 (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 t he mail,
delete it.
> Please pass on this mail to all your friends.
