SSJ5 Vegeta Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 One of my friends emailed me this, just thought you guys should know about this: 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 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. Forward this to everyone in your address book. We 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaku II Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Woa, sounds bad. I have already had probs with sircam. I had to make a new email acount awhile back cause I had it sent to me 457 times. Literally. funny thing is all it did was flood my email box but I opened it and it didnt do anything, guess it was a dud....(I either have no luck at all or get that special time when Im the luckiest in the world.)
