A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
Microsoft s the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered
yesterday afternoon y 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 !!!
