I got an email today which warned of a huge, killer virus that's out now. The incoming email is supposed to be entitled "Postcard from Hallmark", & if you open it an image of a postcard appears, then the virus eats your hard drive. The email asked me to forward it to all my contacts. Right. Since I'm not at all a trusting sort of guy & hopefully not all that naive, I decided to post this & see what you guys have to say. Is this real, or is it bullshit?

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future. Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. Quotes from Adolf Hilter

I'll get in touch with the person who sent me the email, & all other recipients of it, & let them all know that it's bogus.
