Yes, it is true, and crashes your computer by "burning" the entire hard disc of C on your computer. Do not open it no matter what, and even if it seems to be sent by a friend, the virus takes their contacts and sends the virus to them.

There were several other variations of the subject line that talked about a "card" or a "greeting card." But that virus had nothing to do with this false warning about "A card for you" or "A virtual card for you" and the warning that CNN had termed it the worst virus ever.Microsoft, Norton, or McAfee have had nothing to say about it except that it is a hoax.hope the info helps .his is a detection of spammed email messages used to entice users into visiting sites hosting exploits that would result in a drive-by download.
