Huge Virus Coming!

Hello everybody! I’ve just received a warning about new computer virus. After verifying, I decided to share this information with all of you. It is very important to read this one because it can help for your computer security. In order to avoid misleading, I decided to post the original message I got. Here it is:

Dear all ,

HUGE VIRUS COMING ! PLEASE READ & FORWARD !

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 all your contacts as soon as possible.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG YOUR 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 drive of your computer.

This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address on his/her contact list. That 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 if it is 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.

Monkey is an animal who naturally lives in the jungle. However, one of the resort in the center of Phnom Penh, Wat Phnom, is the place where many monkeys are kept for attracting the foreign tourists to visit there.

It’s hard for those monkeys to lead their lives in the city. They change their habit from eating what they want to eating what people give.

Living in the middle of the modern city, sometimes these monkeys cause problems to the visitors due to their natural behavior, mischievous. So far, these monkeys have stolen visitor properties such as wallet, purse and food if the tourists neglect their properties.

So, for people who want to visit Wat Phnom please be careful with their properties; otherwise, the monkeys will get it,and it’s hard to get your properties back from them.
