POSTCARD Virus

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,' regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus
which open s 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.

This is the 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.

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.

From a friend--Pinky
