COMPUTER VIRUS ALERT!

A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
Microsoft as the most destructive ever!; This virus was discovered 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 sends itself automatically to all
contacts on your list with the title "A Virtual 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.;
Please pass this mail to all of your friends.; I 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 link libraries (.dll files) from your computer.;
Your computer will not be able to boot up.
