Looks like this is a real deal folks. Be careful out there. Got this from a friend. Snopes confirms.
 
 
 
Heres the link on snopes to check it out.   http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp
Read On...
 
 
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 itself.
 
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

This new virus will have NO effect on my computer. At the moment I am running on Linux. Unlike Windows this OS is free. I still have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I still use it. Just not for email. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Good luck. Keep your virus scans up to date and you should be OK.

Warmly In Christ,
Pastor Gary
