Al got this from a friend and I wanted to pass it along!
Quote:
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.
Do not open any that have notme.hk anywhere in the address
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 !!!
Here is an example of one i just got in my Junk Folder!!!!!!!

I've been getting a lot of these; they will say things like "from a friend", "from a neighbor", "from an acquaintance", "from an admirer", "from a relative"...I delete them all and hope everyone else does, too!
Same here and was wondering why I was getting so many but never do I open something unless I know who the sender is so deleted them all. Thanks for the headsup.
