safe than sorry!  Always update your anti-virus, especially when using
email! :)

Thanks!

> A new virus has just been discovered that Microsoft has classified 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.
