Hi Contacts,
The campus information management systems asked the faculty and
staff to send this warning about this bad computer virus to everyone on our
contact list so that should the university email be broached, you will NOT fry
your hard drive because you think I’ve sent you and e-greeting. I
have sent this as a blind carbon copy to avoid copying your email address to
every one. Please stay safe and be happy. Warmly,
Rev. Dr. E-K. Daufin
Professor of Communications
Alabama State University

Subject: FW: Electronic Greeting Card Virus Threat Found by McAfee
announced on CNN
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp
I checked with Norton
Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus. I checked
Snopes (URL above), and it is for real!! (it's ranked #2 at
Snopes as of 4/27/08 as a real virus threat)
Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.
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
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.
