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. It simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.




I got this from my email... just thought to let everyone to at least know about it.

And you're quite sure you didn't just fall prey to the oldest trick in the book: chain-mailing? :]

Edit:
Yes, it looks like you did. Check your facts before forwarding such hoaxy stuff. Big tip-offs are "most destructive ever" and vague scary stuff about effects.

Don't Panic.

Huh! So it's not real at all! Or at least not as "destructive" as it was thought...

Sorry. But still, gotta be careful online anyways...
