Whether this is the same virus or not, I did have one that someone sent me that completely crippled my computer and forced me to buy a new hard drive. Now I only open emails without attachments and if I do have to open something with an attachment, I use a public computer.

He it may be True. I will Explain the reason. You know How Computer works. Just 1 or 0 [on or Off State of power] is its language. Then the Entire Computer System works according to this Pulse. you know HDD and al components Works in specific voltage like +5 v and +12 v. These voltage are also regulated by Binary/ one or zero / on or OFF. That means it can also increase or decrease the 12 v or 5 volt. The virus can do it. and if the HDD get 24 v instead of 12 v. There you will see Some Smoke.
