Subject: WORST VIRUS EVER - 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 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!!!!! DO NOT OPEN
IT!!!!!
EVEN
IF
YOU KNOW THE SENDER!!!!!
Please pass this mail to all of your friends and
everyone in your
address
book.
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure
most
people,
like
myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than
not at all.
