A new virus has just been discovered by Microsoft as the most destructive ever.This virus was discovered in late November 2004
The virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk
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 reset button are pressed, the virus destroys the Sector Zero,thus permantantly destroying the hard disk
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.
