Huge virus coming

Do not open any attachment entitled "POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK" regardless of who sends it. It will burn up the whole hard disk C. Microsoft has classified it as the most destructive virus to date. McAfee discovered it a couple days ago and there is no fix for it yet. Check Snopes for more info.

All that I know is that a person I trust alerted me to this. I didn't check to see if it's a hoax but will nevertheless, not open said attachement. I'm just trying to help so take it as you will.

I just checked and although this virus has been around for a couple of years it is real. Maybe this is a new round of it but your right Jim, better safe than sorry. Personally, I don't open any attachements until they're scanned and only then from trusted friends. There are a lot of malicious people out there that get their rocks off causing other people problems. I know as I just had to spend about 4 hours getting two trojans off of my daughters computer. I would suggest that everyone be leary of any unsolicited e-mail or attachments. Have a nice day all! I'm off to the bar.
