    over there
    Hey;If you know this already,that's fine.Just wanted to let you know....:wink2:



    I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this
    virus! This is the worst virus announced by CNN.
    I checked Snopes , and it is for real!! Get this message
    sent around to your contacts. 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 people you know.

    Tokyo!
    Well....here's the thing. Don't forward that warning to all your friends.

    ALL users should simply practice safe computing to begin with and don't need the extra SPAM.

    If you get an e-mail from someone you don't know or don't recognize, DON'T OPEN THE #@(%$*&^ E-mail!!!! Just hit the delete key.

    If said e-mail has an attachment, particularly one that ends in .exe or .com, you can almost guarantee that the file is a virus or a trojan horse program of some kind designed to give an attacker access to your machine. DELETE IT! DON'T OPEN IT!!!

    If you're getting messages about how big your manhood is on a regular basis, there's a good chance you'll be getting mail with viruses and trojans in them. These trojans are NOT for your protection!!! DELETE THEM!

    In short, you should only get e-mail from people you know. If you don't know them, send the mail straight to the trash bin.
