That particular "Zero Sector" virus is a fake. That same e-mail has been going around for years.
BUT there are many other real viruses and other malware that sometimes are disguised as an e-card.
Always be careful, if you receive an e-card and it is not specifically addressed to your name, be very suspicious. Better to just delete it in that case.
sure, this is a pandemic. while ever it retains placing out in basic terms close it or go out. And is it like once you're on the internet it opens or does it open once you're on your laptop. If it opens once you're on the internet then i recommend you to unistall your browser. in case you have yet another pc I recommend you to get carry of an antivirus application and flow it to the pc by using flashchronic and so on or attempt booting into risk-free Mode and then deploy the antivirus application. If it opens with out being on the internet. Then open activity supervisor. CRTL+ALT+DEL. that's properly worth a attempt yet while this is a respectable virus then it is going to maximum possibly be blocked. Then bypass to run and form in Regedit.exe then bypass here HKEY_CURRENT_USER utility Microsoft domicile windows CurrentVersion regulations gadget. interior the excellent-pane, delete the fee named DisableTaskMgr close Regedit.exe. Then activity supervisor might desire to be unblocked and seem for a werid call in there seek google for difficulty-loose names used by using viruses. and then in activity supervisor supply up it. this does not delete the virus it in basic terms stops it quickly. additionally bypass to start and run and form in msconfig and bypass to start technique and click disable all and save and go out. Oh and after those issues you may desire to have the skill to place in an antivirus application to get rid of the virus. If all else fails. deploy a sparkling working gadget yet this is that if all else fails. tell I any of the techniques I mentioned worked.
That e-mail is just spam that exploits peoples fears to spread itself. Delete it and do not forward it to anyone.
No virus discovered by McAfee would use chain e-mails to notify people of the threat. Tell the person who sent it to you that they have been had.
Well I dont know, but I wouldnt go opening any 'postcard' messages.
It's fake, I wasn't aware that an image such as .jpg or .bmp could contain viruses. huh. o well.
linux is immune to it. it don't use that c:\ d:\ e:\ system, it uses sda1, sda2, sdb1 instead (Serial Drive B, partition 1). so i can open any of them i find
may be this is a virus
This is fake.
