PLEASE ADVISE EVERYONE YOU KNOW
Subject: 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 everyone you know.
