[laffs] Re: Fwd: New Virus

 The "Virtual Card for You" hoax (now often circulated simply as a "A Card for 
You") has been making the rounds in various languages since at least 2000, with 
occasional changes along the way. No such (incurable) virus ever existed, was 
identified by McAfee, was reported on by CNN, or "caused panic in New York."

                    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 . This virus simply destroys Sect! or 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 h! ours 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 
All
