A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft ( http://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 is stored. This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself AUTOMATICALLY (without your knowledge) to all contacts on your list and to those people you have recently e-mailed. It usually carries 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 Alt+Del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus PERMANENTLY destroying the hard disk. (That pretty much means your computer will need to be replaced if you get this virus- as there is no vaccine to get rid of the virus and it destroys your hard drive). Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN (www.cnn.com ). This virus 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. Please pass on this mail to all your friends. It would also be a good idea to avoid sending virtual cards to friends until this virus is taken care of as people will not be able to tell if their notification is an actual card or the virus.
