WORST EVER VIRUS (CNN announced)
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 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. 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 this mail to all of 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!
