Circulate this notice to your friends, family and contacts! In the coming days, warning: do not open any message with an attachment called Archive (Windows live) regardless of who sends it to you. This is a virus that burns the entire hard disk. This virus comes from a known person you have in your mailing list, which is why you should send this message to all your contacts. If you receive a message called: updating Windows live, even if it is sent by a friend, do not open the computer and stop immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever existed. The virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee. and there is no chance of repair for this type of virus. It simply destroys Sector Zero of the hard disk. Just copy and paste. |

it's quite easy to spot a hoax anyway. Look at the whole email and pull it apart - absolutely laughable. |

ok no worries - your email programme should scan it anyway but if not, if you intend to send a file via email, find the file on your computer and right click on it - usually you will then have the option to scan it. |
