Virus Alert
 

I sent this to my friends on email but figured it best to let you all know

*Hi All, *
>
>
> *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 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

>
> *COPY THIS E-MAIL, AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS.. *

>
> *REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL

That info. in the virus scare is part true and part false and many times may be sent with a bogus link.
