Not sure if it's true or not, but thought ide show you all, just incase it is true!

http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp



A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as t he most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee . This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.
This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title:
"You've received a Post Card from a Family member".

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so
that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+ delkeys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus
permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours th is virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN.

This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.
So don't open any mails with subject: "A Post Card from ...." As soon as you get the mail, delete it !! Even if
you know the sender !!!

Please pass this mail to all of your friends.

Forward this to everyone in your add ress book. I'm sure most people, like I, would rather receive this notice 25 ti mes than not at All
