  HUGE VIRUS COMING !!! PLEASE READ & FORWARD !!!

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

I Pasted this from my e-mail, sounds like one you don't want to catch!!

Hi,
Thanks for that!! I got one yesterday thats from DHL, stating "unable to deliver parcel in time" you then open up the document and it infects your computer and pretends to be anti-spyware software. The idea is that you panick and enter your credit card details to pay for the spyware, and so give the naughty boys your credit card details. My laptop wouldn't open the document, but didn't say why not, no security warning or anything. However my desktop opened it no problem........................and then the computer shut down!!!!
My computer man is coming today to assess the damage........
Thats my first virus ever, thankfully I only use the desktop for Word and printing, but not anymore!!
