WORST VIRUS EVER --- CNN ANNOUNCED; PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR
CONTACT LIST!!

A new virus has just been discovered that has be en classified by Microsoft
as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee. 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" OR "POSTCARD 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. I'm sure most people, like
myself, would rather receive this notice 25
times than not at all.
