Nasty Computer Virus

All hands to the Zero Sector (of your hard drive.) My Cortelyou Street friends spent all week recovering from some kind of nasty computer virus. Luckily they'd backed up all the computer animations they've toiled over for the last 5 years. I wonder if the virus is the same I just got an email about. Probably not, this email seems to concern what sounds like a PC virus and my friends have Macs. I post it now just in case you were hoping for a better holiday gift than massive hard drive failure. Ah, the sense of power the virus writers must have. For how long does the thrill last?

Sorry for the forward, but thought this was good info for everyone to have -comes from a good source.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.
