BIG virus coming

I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus! I
checked snopes.com, this morning, and it is for real!!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS! You should
be alert during the next several weeks. 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 drive) 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.! This includes all cards, too. 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
your vital information is kept.

thanks for the info

Actually, About.com's Urban Legends section says that particular e-mail is a hoax (the link above has an example with almost the exact same text.

BUT, if you check out snopes.com, they have information about a real virus with a similar name, "You've received a postcard from a family member!" with a link that takes you to 123greetings.com or notme.hk

Check out the links.

(No offense, rackem)

I had a virus come from China about a month ago and have had to wipe out everything to get my business computer to work again. It is not only time consuming but it has lost me actual dollars. My intension is to give the information and you can do with it as you like.

Symantec has information regarding this threat at http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2007-011917-1403-99&tabid=1

Man, I clicked on this thread expecting the final zombie invasion. But thanks for the heads up anyway! Best anti-virus software ever.
