I just recieved this in my e-mail today, I'm not sure if its true, i dont watch CNN...But sounds pretty nasty
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!! Even if you know the sender !!!
Please pass this mail to all of your friends.
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.
