VERY IMPORTANT - BIG VIRUS COMING !!! PLEASE READ

http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

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.

You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any

message with an attachme nt 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.

Snopes lists all the names it could come in.
