VERY IMPORTANT - BIG VIRUS COMING !!! PLEASE READ & FORWARD !!!



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.



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

These kind of warnings annoy the heck out of me.

Did you actually check snopes for yourself? Here is the link.

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


It is a real virus, but it is nothing like the way this hoax email describes and has been out for years.

Here is a really good rule of thumb. If it tells you to forward this email to anyone or everyone, don't. It is 95% a hoax.

We got this at work, and some idiot in the sales team opened it. very mad

SO it went on to infect every pc in the company as it went through the global contact list, so it was a huge mess and no one got anythng done at all...

so I can just agree, do NOT open Hallmark cards for a while...
