Postcard virus

I am not sure if anyone knows about this, so I thought I would share

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.












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.

snopes said its real...........

anyone else heard this?

Although the Postcard virus is real, it isn't a "BIG VIRUS COMING" (it's already been around in multiple forms for a long time now), it will not "burn the whole hard disc" of your computer, CNN didn't classify it as the "worst virus" ever...

Good read. Looks like it's a hoax that's been around all year but they do mention that there are email viruses that are out in the wild so it's still best to run decent anti-virus/adware/malware programs on your system.
