  Please be careful when opening emails!!!!!!


  Bad Virus --CNN announced -- Snopes confirms as real. 
  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+ delkeys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently dest roying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York , according to news b roadcast by CNN. 

  This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. 

  So don't open any mails with su bject: '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
