Virus Warning! "Hallmark Postcard" title...
 
 
Good Friend Of mine sent this in e-mail this morning be Aware
I checked Snopes and sure enough, HALLMARK e-card is on the list.  DO NOT OPEN THESE KINDS OF CARDS and from now on, I will not be opening any cards sent like that!
 
BIG 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.
Snopes lists all the names it could come in.

Since I originally posted this, I have been jumped all over by members in other groups, that I also belong to.
 
It seems this "warning" is maybe 2-3 years old!!!!!,.....BUT it "was/is" a legit virus.
 
However, having said that........it IS always good to be "alert"........regardless of how "ill-informed OR outta date" the poster is!.........lololol
