I've taken the liberty of copying this message from another site, be on your guard peeps !

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.& nbsp;

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! Delete it immediately and empty our deleted items. 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

Yep got various pointers to it being a long running 'chain e-mail' hoax, but hey you never know, some MF is gonna write up a malicious program someday and name it 'Hallmarx postcard', thanks for the heads up tho Drewpy :)

I've found a 'bomb proof' way to maintain security in t'internet is to use some one elses PC ;) , its so simple why didnt I think of it years ago ! :lol:

Yep Blackhat a defo fur ra welly hopefully soon B)
