“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!
