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,_' 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. 
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
