Watch out for these mean machines:
Just to let everyone know,  if you don't know already,  there are two new
computer viruses out as of yesterday.  They are said to be the worst
viruses
Intel has ever seen.  The subject of the two viruses are:
  "A Virtual Card for You"
           and
  "An Internet Flower for You"
  DO NOT OPEN THESE EMAILS!!
The Virtual Card is said to destroy / wipe out Sector Zero in the Hard disk
where virtual information for the computer's functioning is stored. The
virus works by sending itself to all people on your contact list.  When the
"Virtual Card"  is opened, the computer will freeze forcing the user to
reboot.  When the crtl+alt+del keys or the reset button are pressed the
virus destroys the Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk.

The "Internet Rose" removes all dynamic link libraries(.dll files)  from
your computer.  Your computer will not be able to boot up!

I don't know who has and has not heard about this so I figured it would be
better to be on the safe side.  If you receive either one delete it
immediately! Do not open it!

THOMAS
