A ‘Red Alert’ warning has been shared widely on Facebook claiming to be a ‘virus’ warning for computer users. The warning is complete and utter balderdash, claims CNN, Microsoft and CNN have said no such thing. There is no such virus, your hard disk is not going to be burnt, CNN and Microsoft have not classified any malware as the most destructive virus that ever existed and as for the claims of hardware destruction, come on! Many of those people didnt even bother to read the warning.”]
