I received this in my Email and wanted to pass it on. I Don't know if it's real or not but better safe than sorry. 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 FROM HALLMARK' regardless of who sent > it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which ' burns' > the=2 0whole 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 an e-mail entitled '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 simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where all your vital information is kept. Sage |

Ive had friends and family send me e-mails with the beginning starting with this and after some research it 9 out of 10 turns out to be spam. But I would hope all of us are computer savy enough to not open e-mails with links unless you know what ur getting in to. OR you like to experiment with new viruses:) Thanks for the look out Sage |

ROFL. I got one of these, it had a .zip file w/ it. Obviously I didn't open the zip file... laff. The "urban legends" site is wrong. There is at least a zip worm going around with "HALLMARK" in the subject. Not that it matters... is there anyone stupid enough to run random files these days? |

I never get anything that interesting. Just ads to improve my manhood and viagra ads. Also the phishing ones for banks i don't use. A friend came round to my house once and said did you open the email i sent ya? It's really funny. So because he was stood there i opened the attachment. Wasn't that funny. Give me the cih virus, i think, was a bad one anyway. when my pc crashed he said, "thats exactly whats happened to mine. Thats why i came round." Hmmm. now i never open anything. |

http://blog.trendmicro.com/ Off topic but generally carries most legit malware warnings/virus warnings. That email sage got looks more like spam/chain letter than legit warning imo. If it was a virus its more likely part of the Storm Botnet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_botnet) as they have used a hallmark spam mail before. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r196483 ... STORM-worm Storm is much worse than a "Zero Sector" virus. Simply because a Zero Sector virus would just destroy your harddrive and while virus's like that still exist. Most modern day Malware/Virii/Spamware writers have other agenda's than destroying a computer for giggles.
