I know most people in IT jobs will know but read below...
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.
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure most people, like
myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at all.
