What makes it the most destructive?

Good ol' cih is one of the nastiest ones I've seen, and it was quite widespread back in the day. It "only" wiped the hard drives clean, and attempted to reprogram the BIOS so the computer wouldn't even restart.

Plus, I can't find anything about this 'psa' anywhere, not even McAfee's site.

Oh, and hello hoax virus message.

Aaand 'Invitation' Virus Warning.

Hoaxhoaxhoaxhoax. Hoax.

Comments: Hoax. This threat is not real. According to McAfee.com, it is a slightly revised version of a virus hoax circulating since 2000, known as "A Virtual Card for You" or "Destroys Sector Zero."
