Has anyone heard of this virus they are calling Postcard? I just received an e mail stating that this virus is coming by way of an email as an attachment titled Postcard. It is supposed to be the worst virus ever and if the email is opened it will show an image of a postcard which will burn the whole hard drive C of your computer. It was announced on CNN and classified by Microsoft that it is the most destructive virus ever. The virus simply destroys the zero sector of your hard drive where all the vital information is kept. If you do receive this e mail, they say not to open it and shut your computer off immediately. It gives a web address to check it out http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

I just got warning of this one! http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp as I have been told not to open any attachments from people I do not know, but it may seem to come from someone you know! My mac mini is like a webtv, it cannot get viruses!

There is just so many going around you never know what one will be next. Good for you on your mac mini not being able to get viruses.

I was going to start a new discussion on this, but I saw that you already had! Sometimes I am curious, as I do not get postcards normally but there are too mnay tricks out there!
