Even if you get the following message from someone you know, DELETE IT!   Somehow this virus has your contact list. From  DEL BAILEY, A TRUSTED Friend.

 

 

Subject: Virus alert
Importance: High

This has been checked with Snopes and they confirm this as real 

WORST VIRUS EVER --- CNN ANNOUNCED 

You should not open these emails.

Here is a link to the snopes page so you can check it yourself if you want:

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. 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 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 itse lf.

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
