im not sure if there is anything to this or not........i just got it in an email.....figured id share......just in case......better safe than sorry.......
I just received this from a buddy out of state.
Hi All,
I 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 all your contacts ASAP.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG YOUR 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 drive of your computer.
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address on his/her contact list. That 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 if it is 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
1|1|In the future before posting or forwarding any email...EVEN if it says "I checked Snopes" is to check Snopes yourself. I have many times and found the information to still be false. I check EVERYTHING before forwarding.|CatsDogsGoatsOhmy|forgotnone3@aol.com|20:59:14|05/01/2010|

im sure lots and lots of people dont check stuff out before they post.......same as other post.......read it if u want or pass it over 3|3|I think tcats means to make sure you check for yourself... Not to just take someones word that they checked. I *DONT* think they meant it like they were telling YOU personally what to do... But, i could be wrong.|RobinsCrazyWorld|robinmarie72@gmail.com|21:48:43|05/01/2010|

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.

she wasn't criticizing you, she was just reminding all of us that just because an email SAYS that it has "been checked out with Snopes" does NOT mean that it is true.
We should all check snopes.com ourselves before we believe everything we read. 5|1|i have heard of this one too and would rather have heads up on stuff and it not be true and get it later and get the computer in trouble |lydzkydz|wyldkydz@embarqmail.com|21:51:21|05/03/2010|
i have been known to post things that was not true later to find out that i did wrong but i would rather know
please include your user name on refundsweepers.
i appreciate all the trades made in the past.
THANKS!!
