VIRUS  COMING !
 
 
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,'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
