Additional Comments: This came from the AMC board, a regular poster told of a virus that is going around via e-mail, I also encountered a potential virus trying to get on MD's post. Here are our 2 posts.

W.E's Post

I just received a long e-mail, but the bottom line is that there is a new virus being generated that will wipe out your C drive. It is not a rumor—here is a link to snopes.com to verify. I didn’t use the link, since I thought maybe THAT was a virus, but I went to snopes.com and it is listed there under viruses.
Snopes
It can be generated with a familiar name from your address book and it says that you have a “Postcard from Hallmark”. DO NOT OPEN this e-mail, but delete it and re-boot your computer.

My post:

When I click on to this site, I type in Y&R, and it automatically goes to this site. The other day when I did this, a porn site came on. After a few seconds, my spyware software came up and told me to shut of my computer at once. There is an international virus by the name of "Trojan" that is infecting many computers. When you log on to this site, make sure it's MD and not something else.
