>Subject: Virus Alert!
>
>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 all 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.
>
>PLEASE SEND THIS  TO  EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!
