| Here's the scoop...
Please read this message, pay extra caution when you open your 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.
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!!

| ***I realize it is hard for some to consider "me" as the forerunner on the cutting edge of technology but in all actuality my wife sends this stuff home + I put it up on here! She is afraid I'll open something + screw her computer up so I'm being constantly updated. So much for my "15 minutes of fame".........[:sun:] |

| Mike, I sent your post to our company's computer man. He stated that both of your alerts are bogus. It is an example
of internet messages which grow into a life of their own.
Your advise to not open e-mail that you are not expecting or that you don't know the sender is very good advise. |

| Nimda is admin spelled backwards. Oooooooo… |

| Wow, I just had a virus alert. It was the nimda one. Funny thing is I went to the musky times website, then the virus was deleted from my temporary Internet files, it was from there. I thought you couldn’t catch a virus at a website? I’m glad I update every night. Zach, are you practicing safe surf?
