It's a hoax. Viruses cannot destroy the hard drive of a computer. they can
only erase stuff.

Subject: Fw: WORST VIRUS EVER ---CNN ANNOUNCED Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2005

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 is 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. 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 !!!
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
