[br]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!
[red][i][b] 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.[/b][/i][/red]  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.
 [blue][i][b] If you receive a mail called' POSTCARD[/b][/i][/blue],' even though sent to you by a 
friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately.

[black][i][b] 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.[/b][/i][/black]  This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the 
vital information is kept.
