Virus coming

            Dave's

brother is a very advanced  programmer who does computer work for a living

and  has a high up status with Microsoft.  He  doesn't send

these if they aren't real.   If  he  says this is for real, it

for sure is.   Be  aware.

           VIRUS  COMING ! 

           

          Hi  All, 

          I  checked with Norton Anti-Virus,

and they are  gearing up for this  virus! 

           

          I  checked Snopes, 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. 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

Louise,

This 'urban legend' has been circulating since 2008. Here are some links

regarding the Virus. It does not mean that you should open cards when received,

but this particular message may not be as accurate as it seems.

Thanks for alerting us to possible virus invasions, though.
