| is this the same as the Hallmark Post Card virus??? I got this email this morning.....
Hi All, I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up
for this virus! 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 thi s 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.
This is t he worst virus announced by CNN. 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. | |
