hello, yes this is really a bad virus going around & it's also known to norton anti virul protection & aol & hotmail & yahoo so don't open it up cuz it will wreck your computer. bb

Just because a virus is real, doesn't mean the threat is. These emails have been circulating for a year, and the virus mentioned was discovered back in 2001! The Postcard virus is nasty, but it's not an emergency.
