BIG VIRUS COMING !!! PLEASE READ & FORWARD !!! http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp   Hi All, I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus! I checked Snopes (URL above:), 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. Snopes lists all the names it could come in.

I would nto worry too much about this "warning", if and i mean IF a virus does wipe out the boot sector of your dick then you can easliy plug you r hard drive into tanother computer and fully recover your files and folders, I would also add that this email has circumnavigated the globe around 10 tims in the last three years. I woudl not worry too much, juts keep your A/V all up to date and scan attachments that you are unsure of.
Peace and out!

Thank you for this.  As you seem to know about these things, could you explain why people send this rubbish and who gains from the endless circulation of email.  I'm sure there must be some financial gain to someone somewhere from generating this stuff and I'd love to know how so I can tell all those people who send me warnings and good luck chain letters to ... clear off.
