   I personally checked this out and it is real. The card announcement can come from Hallmark, 123Greetings and a number of others. Please do not open any greeting cards you get, no matter who it says it is from:

   VIRUS ALERT -- Sunday September 28th, 2008

   http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp
   Norton Anti-Virus has checked this out and they are gearing up for this virus!
   Snopes (URL above:) says 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 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   you know at the end of the snopes article it says that this is not a big virus and it will not burn out your whole hard drive. Oh and that CNN did not call it the most destructive virus ever.
   But it is a real virus

   I felt they were kind of contradicting the purpose for the warning by adding that information where they did. It does say the "Postcard virus is real" so who the heck wants to take any chances whether it is going to do a huge amount of damage or only a little damage. So does that mean that if CNN didn't say it was the worse virus in history it isn't as destructive. I'm not questioning what you are saying KN I just think whoever posted that information on Snopes put it is a place which can confuse people. Well.........me anyway.

   No, not me, I started the cheese thread and that is more than enough for one man to add to the world.

   But I do like the Goodtimes virus:

   Goodtimes will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but
   it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It
   will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice
   cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit
   cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field
   harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.

   It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It
   will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and
   leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming
   over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit
   pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

   Goodtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will
   give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your
   gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your
   girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to
   your Discover card.

   It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she
   is dead, such is the power of Goodtimes, it reaches out beyond the
   grave to sully those things we hold most dear.

   It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't
   find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on
   your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It
   is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather
   interesting shade of mauve.

   Goodtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the
   toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methanphedime in your bathtub
   and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase
   grade schoolers with your new snowblower.

   ******* WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. *******

   And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll fart
   so hard that your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in
   front of you, sending sparks that will ignite the person nearest you.

   Send this warning to everyone.

   If you are a blonde, this is a joke!!!

    I give up. You are all hopeless I'm afraid.

    Goodtimes power is such that it would move a dog and an aquarium in first, then kick the dog and add kool-aid to the aquarium.

    This is the evil of goodtimes

15. 

    Could be worse, instead of adding kool-aid to the aquarium, it could be jello! lol

    lol, the fish would probably wonder about the jello and the swimming in it.

    *Laughs hysterically for several moments.* ROTFLAO, Renee, wouldn't the kitties love that, goldfish in jelly... lol.

    Hmm, new meaning to the saying, "watch it wiggle, see it shimmer"!
    Kitties would say "cool", new toys to play with! :) Interesting treats too for the kitties.

    Anyone else remember Crown gasoline stations? They thought it good community service to mount their signs on top of a large decorative fountain. In short order, though, they always got infected with the Goodtimes virus in the form of laundry detergent in the fountain--usually carried by some teenage punk.

    Then someone thought of adding Rit Dye--royal blue.

    Crown drained the water after that.
