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 the mail, delete it.
Please pass on this mail to all your friends
