FYI TO ALL.

Dave's brother is a very advanced programmer

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, andthey are
gearing up for this

virus!


I checked Snopes, and it is forreal. Get this
E-mail message sent
around to your contacts ASAP.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONGFRIENDS,
FAMILY AND CONTACTS!

You should be alert during the next fewdays.
Do not open any

message with an attachment entitledPOSTCARD
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 fromsomeone who
has your e-mail
address in his/her contact list. Thisis 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 thevirus and
open it.

If you receive a mail called'POSTCARD,' even
though sent to you by

a friend, do not open it! Shut downyour
computer immediately. This is
the worst virus announced by CNN.
It has been classified by Microsoft asthe
most destructive virus
ever. This virus was discovered byMcAfee
yesterday, and there is no
repair yet for this kind of virus. Thisvirus
simply destroys the

Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where thevital
information is kept.
COPY THIS E-MAIL, AND SEND IT TO YOUR
FRIENDS.
REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOUWILL
BENEFIT ALL OF US

I haven't seen a good hardware virus in a while. I want to trap it in a machine. I would like to see what this thing has to offer.
