Anything that says "PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!!" is usually to be treated with a degree of suspicion. |

Right - i've now had a look and apparently it IS a hoax, which has been going round since the year 2000!!!!! So if you receive this please don't panic - just delete it. Sorry if I got anyone in a flap! Maz. XX |

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 !!! Please pass this mail to all of your friends. |
