I recieved this warning today pass it along to every one you know! I DID check this with Snopes and it's a valid virus------take heed!!.......... NOTE: I'm not sending ANY e-mail cards this year so I won't be guilty!! lw http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK 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 AMO NG 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 con tact 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

Thanks so much for the warning ladybug. We all have to be on the lookout, I don't understand why people do these kinds of things. Why do people want to ruin other peoples things, it doesn't make sense to me.
