VIRUS WARNING !!!!!

[Zee]

Hi All

I received this virus warning today, just thought I would pass it on.Also there is a worm on bogus emails. It is called WORM_NETSKY.P


Dear All,

Please read the WARNING below

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 byMicrosoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discoveredyesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed.This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vitalinformation 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 resetbutton are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanentlydestroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this viruscaused 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 soonas you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender !!!


Please pass this mail to all of your friends and colleagues.

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

The worm is such a pain !!!

I'm getting between 10-20 emails a day, with this blasted worm attached to it.

I've been using Trend Micro email scanner, and thank god I have been.

My other spyware, anti-virus programms, have not been picking it up.
