I just recived a rather interesting email, no idea if this is true or not though...

Hi All, 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 let all your contacts
know about this. 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, 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.


If this IS true, please make it a global sticky as everyone should know about this....

EDIT: Ok, so it might not be as bad this meial makes it sound, but its still pretty nasty if you get it. checking the link in the email near the bottom explains the majority of the problems.

It is a virus, but nothing as bad as that email makes it out to be.

I've seen emails like that before. Even if there is an ounce of truth in them, they are simply a way of increasing spam to people.
