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. If you receive a mail called" POSTCARD," even though sent to you by a friend, do not open it! This includes all cards, too. 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 remarks about this: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp thanx, janie!
If you have Windows Vista, and have installed it over Windows XP, watch out.. When you do your windows updates, and it goes to restart, it can crash.. Mine did...
