[AGL] Fwd: COMPUTER VIRUS SCARE -sounds bad

[Frances Morey]

Hi, Mike,
  Carol Nunely is not one to pass on junk mail, apparently she already snopsed it. I barely open the mail I now get so I don't go fishing through spam or junk mail. Hope you have a nice Fourth of July week. I am getting out of town.
  Best,
  Frances

  Hi all- got this from a friend in the computer security industry.  He says this hit their servers in CA a week ago.  They caught it - but it is ugly!
    DON'T IGNORE THIS.

    Hi All, I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus! 
I checked Snopes (URL below), and it is for real!!

You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open attachments or click on links in 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 re ason 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 it could come in.
