    Default Virus Alert


    Just passing this along. It says to shut your computer down. OK, then what?


    Hi All,

    I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus!

    I checked snopes.com, and it is for real!! http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

    Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.

    PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY & 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 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!

    I just noticed this is about 8 months old so hopefully they have it fixed.

    I'm still hoping some nerd will create a virus that fixes all the bugs in Windows.
