From: helpdesk@goatelecom.com <helpdesk@goatelecom.com> Date: Friday, January 12, 2001 5:29 PM Subject: alert..alert..alert.. DANGEROUS VIRUS......

Dear esteemed customer, A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft ( www.microsoft.com ) and by McAfee (www.mcafee.com) 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 (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. Regards Helpdesk, Internet Division Goa Telecom. Telephone Exchange Altinho,Panaji. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telephone bills can be paid in any branch of Syndicate Bank in Goa , across
