DO NOT OPEN EMAIL WITH POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK OR POSTECARD ON IT !!!!!!














....

This has come from head of IT at DHL, so should be true.



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.

I have similar on mine Yola, everything goes into a spam folder, which I just empty without opening...

I just tend not to open anything if I don't recognise the name. But putting hallmark is a real swizz as it could be an e-card.

Scary, hope it isn't true. I often get Hallmark cards from friends. wouldn't open one if I didn't know the sender. Thank God few viruses are written for Macs!
