Subject: Virus
Just to let you know a new virus was started in New York last night.
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 www.cnn.com <<
http://www.cnn.com>>
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. Please pass on this mail to all your
friends.
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive
this 25 times than not at all.

Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered
recently. If you receive an email called "An Internet Flower For You," do not
open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries

L'avant-dernier paragraphe réfère au canular
An Internet flower for you.
Le texte de la version hollandaise est le suivant :
Subject: WAARSCHUWING : Ernstig Virus in aantocht
Aangekondigd door CNN: het ergste virus ooit gekend. Een nieuw virus werd pas
ontdekt en volgens Microsoft normen is dit virus het meest vernielend
ooit!!!!!!!!!
Dit virus werd gisteren namiddag ontdekt door McAfee en er werd nog geen
bescherming ontwikkeld. Het virus vernietigt gewoon Sector Zero van de harde
schijf, waar alle vitale informatie van de computer gestockeerd is.Het virus
werkt als volgt:
Het verzendt zich automatisch naar alle adressen van uw address book onder de
naam "A Virtual Card for You". Zodra de zogezegde virtuele kaart geopend
wordt,
blokkeert de computer en moet de gebruiker heropstarten.
Op het ogenblik dat de toetsen "ctrl+alt+del" of de reset toets gebruikt
worden, vernietigt het virus Sector Zero, wat een definitieve vernietiging van
de harde schijf betekent.
Volgens CNN heeft het virus gisteren op een paar uur tijd paniek gezaaid in
New
York. Open dus geen e-mail met als onderwerp "A Virtual Card for You".
Zodra u zo 'n mail ontvangt, moet u deze onmiddellijk deleten. Bovendien
heeft
Intel het bestaan van een andere zeer vernielende virus aangekondigd.
Indien u een e-mail ontvangt met als onderwerp "An Internet Flower for You",
moet u deze onmiddellijk deleten, zonder open te doen. Het virus vernielt alle
"dynamic link libraries" files (.DLL).
Uw
pc zal onmogelijk kunnen heropstarten!
Stuur dit bericht naar al uw kennissen.
Beter 25 maal ontvangen dan niet.
