This is for real!

Please share! http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/...

All, I checked with the Norto 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” 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 call “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 AND SENT IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. REMEMBER: IF YOU SENT IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US..

Umm, last time I check plug & play stops just about any hardware damage due to software. It may cause your HD to crash, but I somehow doubt that it will “burn” it. HD’s can run hot, but not that hot.

‘POSTCARD’ Virus Hoax
Netlore Archive: Hoax email alert warns of ‘the worst virus ever’ circulating in the form of an attachment labeled ‘POSTCARD’
Description: Email hoax
Circulating since: Feb. 2008 (this version)
Status: False

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some versions of this hoax claim the information was “verified” on Snopes.com. This is NOT true. There is verification on Snopes.com of a different e-card virus threat with a similar name.
