Virus Alert --this just showed up via e-mail

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 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. I would rather receive
this
25 times than not at all.
