Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 BIG VIRUS COMING !!! PLEASE READ & FORWARD !!! http://www.snopes com/computer/virus/postcard.asp Hi All, I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus! This is the worst virus announced by CNN. I checked Snopes (URL above:), and it is for real!! Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS! You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attachment entitled 'POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK,' regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list. This is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. If you receive a mail called 'POSTCARD,' even though sent to you by a friend, do NOT open it! Shut down your computer immediately. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept. COPY THIS E-MAIL AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US. Snopes lists all the names it could come in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Instant access to the latest & most popular FREE games while you browse with the Games Toolbar - Download Now!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Bob, At the very end of the Snopes entry, they say the following: " Although the Postcard visus is real, it isn't a 'BIG VIRUS COMING' (its already been around in multiple formd for a long time now), it will not 'burn the whole hard disc' of your computer, CNN didn't classify it as the 'worst virus' ever, " As long as people have up to date antivirus software and files they should not have a problem.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yep, That's why I included the reference URL. That way people can see what the Virus actually is and not get all uptight about it because when their friends start sending it around they will know what it is about, I hope? Thanks Tom, at least I know somebody is keeping a check on me, lol! This is an actual Virus but not one that is going to get in there and burn up your whole computer or hard drive like it says? Take care folks! Love Ya'll! " WE WILL WIN " Love Ya'll! Bob & Carole Dad & Mom Oldgoat " Never Fight Fair " Panama City, FL 32404 Please visit the International Stills Disease Foundation Inc.
