My friend sent me an email warning about the "Postcard Virus". I did a little search and found out that the "Postcard Virus" is a hoax. So if you get an email like the one below, don't mind it. It is a hoax email.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!Last note: It is always important to be able to distinguish between the real threats and the bogus ones. Also, protect your PC against viruses by maintaining an updated antivirus software.
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.
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 Drive.
