Virus alert!
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 all your contacts ASAP.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG YOUR 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 drive of your computer.
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address
on his/her contact list. That 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 if it is 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

he he, I'm in the software industry and always get a chuckle out of how these things get blown out of proportion. BTW I'm sitting on my leather couch the wife purchased with the extra money I made manning the support lines at work on December 31st 1999.
