There are two new virusses:

1. An e-mail with the attachment of a sreensaver of The Budweiser Frogs.

Consequences when downloading/opening: hard disk will crash, you'll lose all the information, sector Zero will be destroyed, name and password are known.

It's in circulation since tuesday, as stated by MS. CNN says it's the worst virus ever.

Virus spreads automatically through adress book, under the name: 'A Virtual Card for You'.

When this is opened, the computer crashes, you'll have to restart. When you use ctrl+alt+del or reset button, the virus will be activated.

Another virus, so says Intel, is 'An Internet Flower for You', and this one destroys all dynamic link libraries files (.dll files).

So does this mean I should open that E-card, even thou It asks me to install something and the site it takes me to has no homepage?
