                          Hi All,

                             I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and
they
are gearing up for this virus!
                             I checked Snopes, 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,'regardles s of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens A

POSTCAR D 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 t
his
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.
