Just what makes someone want to cause harm to others he doesn't even know is sick.

 

BAD Virus --CNN announced -- Snopes confirms as real.

Here is a link to the snopes page:


http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!


A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee. This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.


This virus acts in the following manner:

It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title:


'You've received a Post Card from a Family member'
.

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+ alt+ del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN.


This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft i tself.


So don't open any mails with subject:
'A Post Card from ' As soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender !!!

Please pass this mail to all of your friends.


Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at all.

 

I've done the emailing and trust the source this came from.  It's my younger brother, Ralph, I've know for 48 years.

Hi Chuck, I got a rash of these over the summer, always from someone I didn't know. I did what I always do and deleted them. I use the Snopes site whenever I get strange sounding mail in my inboxes - it's a very handy tool, and from what I understand it's quite reliable. In general, don't let your common sense go on vacation when you're online - it's public, it's not as secure as you may think, and there are always 'entrepreneurs' trying to figure out the 'perfect' scam or another way to throw a wrench in the works somehow. Sigh........ :-(
