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 . 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.

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.
