WORST Virus ever -- Launched

WORST VIRUS EVER -- ANNOUNCED BY CNN

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 Card for You".

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes sot hat 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!! Even if you know the sender !!!


Online Specialists gives a CODE RED alert to everyone! BECAREFULL

Software company says Britney Spears is No. 1 name used by hackers to spread computer viruses.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - While Britney Spears' pregnancy may be popular with celebrity news junkies, her time in the public eye is also making it a whole lot easier to spread computer viruses.

when they find a virus they get the name for it: here there no name for it at all.

most case there be a link to read on it were it was posted up at: at one of many main sites to back it up "none listed"

i gone to the site were they list this news release they close/lock it from any other can post comment to it.

its total a joke not real.

besides thats not a news' site at all. its more of a gamer resource site

i even gone to CNN and did a search on any news "WORST Virus ever" not listed at all
