Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Hi all, I have just received warning about two new viruses: I have just received an e-mail from a friend of mine about this bad e-mail " A Virtual Card for you " . Please read the rest of this e- mail. It's very serious and important !! Virus Alert (This is not a joke) A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft(www.microsoft.com) and by McAfee (www.McAfee.com ) 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 Virtual 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(http://www.cnn.com). This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. So don't openany mails with subject " A VirtualCard for You " . As soon as you get the mail,delete it. Please pass on this mail to all your friends. Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all.Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered recently. If you receive an email called " An Internet Flower For You " , do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all libraries(.dll files) from your computer. Your computer will not be able to boot up.!! SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
