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'

by a friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately.

where the vital information is kept.
