Ok guys just got this sent to my e-mail inbox dunno if youve had them yourselves but goes like this...
Warning:
I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus!
I checked snopes.com, and it is for real!!
Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.
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 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.
Sounds like a load of tosh, funny how he provides no link to the snoopes article.
You would have to download an exe and execute it for it do do anything (unless you allow macros to run).
And what does it mean by "burning" the c drive, burning it to what? I hope its not trying to say it physically burns the drive because thats just funny (surly no one would fall for that).
Words like "most destructive virus ever" also are a giveaway of its fakeness.
