Hi All, I checked with Norton Anti-Virus,
ZoneAlarm 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,' 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.
Snopes lists all the names it could come in.

That's it, no postcards for me...or from me! I'll pass on the warning.
