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 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 notice 25 times than not at Al

Indeed, any email warning like that should be taken with a grain of salt unless it links BACK to the actual CNN article

Dead give away that the creator of the message is an a__hole, buttfaced, poo-monger who would like everyone to receive it 25 friggin' times. I hate these types of emails and those who create them.

I need to offer a spam filtering service where mail gets routed through my server. I have a feeling I could make some decent cash that way.

Wow that sucks... probably written in assembly or something, you can do nasty stuff with assembly if "well" used.

I still seriously don't believe that. How can i virus PHYSICALLY harm your hard drive? . Gimme proof and i'll apologise but... Doesn't sound real to me.

With assembly you can communicate directly with hardware, so you can cause the head to slam against the wall of the HDD (if it can even mechanically do that..) or worse yet: increase the cpu voltage, and other fun stuff.

Really I'm suprised no viruses flash the bios. that would be the end of it for the mobo.

Want to see what the 12 year old did to the horse? Click here!

Emails like that?

Could be a picture of a 12 year old helping to brush a horse for all we know. But the XXX in red kind of gives it away.
