  1. Hi all:
    I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this
    virus!
    I checked Snopes (URL above:), 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 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. REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO
    THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US
