Best tell your clients to verify before sending hoax warnings. This has
been going around for a while.

HEADS UP!!! Just got an email from one of our clients warning us of a big virus coming. If you get an attachment entitled 'POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK' regardless of who sent it to you, DO NOT OPEN IT. It is a virus which opens a post card image which "burns" the whole hard disc C of your computer. I have checked with our office computer people and this is a threat that is coming so be warned.

Darn you Jerry! Not only did you beat me to calling this a hoax, you
sited the same source. Symantec's web site tells us that the MYDOOM
virus used the E-card from Hallmark subject but that was a year ago. If
your virus definitions are up to date then you will be covered.

Virus are a real problem and we appreciate your concern. I work for an
ISP and respond to these warnings every week. Education is the best
defense. If someone sends a warning such as this, check it out and let
the sender know if it isn't real.
Cheers
Mark
