Subject: Virus Alert-True
BAD - BAD VIRUS...IMPORTANT TO READ
I have been receiving MANY notices claiming "that a
friend/partner/family/classmate has sent you a greeting." It looks
like those you get from Hallmark and American Greetings. I have not
clicked on any of the links and now I'm glad.
THIS IS VERY, VERY REAL.
Please don't open any "greeting card" e-mails unless you know who
they're from.

WORST VIRUS EVER --- CNN ANNOUNCED
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 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: "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
