|  Extremely Imporant Virus Alert!! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! My mother received this email from a friend, my dad has said that this is something to worry about!! (direct copy) 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: 'You've received a Post Card from a Family member'. 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 b utton 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 Post Card from ..' 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 you may want to read this Here is a link to the snopes page: Urban Legends Reference Pages: 'Postcard from a Family Member' virus This is just scary..  |
