        Email received from a supplier . . .
        Hi To you all, this came from a friend whose bother works for Computer Associates.
        Dave’s brother is a very advanced programmer who does computer work for a living and has a high up status with Microsoft. He doesn’t send these
        If they aren’t real.
        If he says this is for real, it for sure is. Be aware.

        VIRUS COMING!
        Hi All,
        I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for
        This virus!
        I checked Snopes, and it is for real. Get this E-mail message
        Sent around to your contacts ASAP.
        PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!
        You should be alert during the next few days.
        Do not open any message with an attachment entitled ‘POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK,’ 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 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! 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 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

        better safe than sorry.

          Hoax, sorry.

          “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.”

          Same line they used in 2000, 2001, 2002, etc, etc.

          Any email that warns of a “virus” with quotes from companies such as Microsoft, CNN, Antivirus vendors etc are all hoaxes.
