Virus alert

[Vipers]

Extract of an email from 2 sources of a virus coming, true or false, o wise ones, anyone know:-

---

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 drive of your computer.

Is this still doing the rounds, I saw this in 1999.

Computers don't recieve postcards, the postman delivers them.

It happened to me when I opened this virus on my Megadrive. Very nasty outcome as it turned into a 32X and then Hitler was risen from the dead. Since this was in the past and everyone knows who Hitler is then you all know how it ended.
