Subject: virus alert ...npr/nrr

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 NewYork, 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.

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.! !
