>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,' 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. &nb sp;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. REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF� US.
>�
>Snopes lists all the names could� come in as.

I hope they find the source and burn a hole in his Head.... oh I meant hard drive. Some people have too much time on their hands. Well at least they are not messing with my beer...

Think this is just another email version of something that has been going on for quite awhile. So you might want to go to the end of the link that Tim posted and read what is there. While its always good to be very caucious with any emails you receive. the world is not ending. At the end of the day you just have to be very aware of whats coming in on your email all the time
