HUGE VIRUS COMING !!! PLEASE READ & FORWARD !!!

http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

Hi All, I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus!
I checked Snopes (URL20above:), 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 20 than to receive the v irus 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


It's better to believe it than get it.

[Get Real!]

All viruses can be easily defeated by removing the infected hard disk and attaching it to another computer as a secondary drive from where you can easily scan and operate on it, etc. Secondary drives do not boot up so nothing from them would load into memory to hinder the computer’s performance.

Even so, it is better to avoid getting them in the first place!

As far as I can find out this appears to be a hoax.

As it's always better to safe than sorry I posted it anyway.
