Flux Capacitor 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 HUGE VIRUS COMING! PLEASE READ & FORWARD ! I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus! I checked Snopes, 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 do wn 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 Sect or of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 ROFLMAO There is such thing as a sector 0, but as far as I can remember the "vital information' that's in it is the file allocation table (FAT) or the partition table. There's also the DOS Boot Record which indeed contains important information. But seriously, a virus or any form of software can't technically "destroy" an HD. It can alter data, yes, and if it were to target "Sector Zero" and overwrite or delete its data or something, a good recovery would do the trick. It's impossible to destroy the HD permanently this way, therefore this can't be a dangerous virus at all (if it were to exist). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
