Most Destructive Computer Virus

TruthWillSetUFree · 01-15-2009, 01:19 PM

If you haven't heard of this yet please read

I get these alerts often and some of these are bogus, but this one is
coming from a very credible source so I thought I would pass it on to
you 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 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.20This 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 let all
your contacts know about this. 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, AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. REMEMBER: IF YOU
SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

Thanks OceanBlue for the information and the links.

It is such a shame these hoax's get started in the first place. Some people have nothing better to do with their lives I suppose.

Love & Light
