[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]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 . This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the [url "http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=31&k=hard%20disk"]hard disk[/url], 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:
"[red]A Card for You[/red]".
As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+[/size][/font]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. [red]So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for You."[/red] As soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender!!!
