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!
