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 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 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 dynamic ink
libraries (.DLL files) from your computer. Your computer will not be able
to boot up!!
