This came to me from another list.  If it is true-watch out!  Does any one
know how to do a credibility check on this?

accurate or not.

Subject: BIG VIRUS COMING


versity College BIG VIRUS COMING



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

                 Hi All, I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are 
gearing up for this virus!
                 I checked Snopes (URL above:), and it is for real!!

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

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND C ONTACTS!< /FONT>

                 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 someo ne 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 
classi fied 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.

    & nbsp;            Snopes lists all the names it could come in.
