Virus Announced by Cnn

[Mr HyeAholic]

I got this in my Email today:


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 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 !!
Please pass this mail to all of your friends.

Sip it was a forward from a friend in my yahoo email, so I dont know how much of it is true, but why does CNN news make you laugh?

Re: Virus Announced by Cnn

Because often such emails claim CNN or Microsoft said this and that to make themselves sound important. The same email has been going around for many years ... anytime you see something like this, just delete it ... especially if there is no actual link to CNN

There was a joke going around a while back about the Mexican Birus ... it asked you to delete all your files and forward the Birus to everyone on your contact list. This is kinda like that Mexcian Birus, except it is harmless (doesn't ask you to delete your files manually)
