POSTCARD Virus on its way

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

If you receive an-email entitled POSTCARD or with a Postcard attachment. do not open it.....by all accounts it is a particularly bad one...comments by Microsoft about it....

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.

I got an email message saying BACK OF AN ENVELOPE. Obviously the sender didn't have a postcard available to send me.
