WORST VIRUS EVER--CNN ANNOUNCES (FOR REAL)
Nov 5, 2007
I've checked it too on Snopes and it is real.
Susan

I checked Snopes and it IS real.

PLEASE

SEND THIS TO EVERYONE IN 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:
"You've received a Post Card from a Family member."

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 Post Card from ." As soon as you get the mail, delete it! Even if you know the sender!
Please pass this mail to all of your friends.

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at All

It's that time of year again! When seemingly normal folks don the tackiest knitwear ever conceived by Santa's little fashionista helpers.  Snowmen, Santa, teddy bears, showflakes, and over-the-top embroidery accompanied by excessive sequinry...

Do not say, "I understand! I have attained mastery!" If you have attained mastery, then why are you going around asking other people questions? As soon as you say you understand Zen, people watch whatever you do and whatever you say, wondering wh...
