I appologize for the misinformation/misunderstanding, I simply was sharing info I recieved from 2 of my instructors.  Thought I was helping, guess I was wrong!

The exact wording of your warning is listed as a hoax on urbanlegends.com.  See the pink box below this. 'POSTCARD' Virus Hoax

Netlore Archive: False email alert warns of 'the worst virus ever' circulating in the form of an attachment labeled 'POSTCARD'

Description: Email hoax Circulating since: Feb. 2008 (this version) Status: False

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some versions of this hoax claim the information was "verified" on Snopes.com. This is NOT true. What has been verified on Snopes.com is a different e-card virus threat with a similar name. Be careful not to confuse the two.

Thanks for getting the correct info, Kay!! I hate it when junk circulates and gets everyone so worried!! I almost always try to check out the information on Snopes, etc.

SM, I was going back to look at posts and saw what you did here.  I certainly did NOT mean to hurt your feelings and from the tone of your post your feelings were hurt.  If I'm wrong then I'm wrong.  I simply did not want this well known hoax to sit here like gospel truth.  Furthermore, and this is just my worthless opinion, you could have simply replied to me what you posted above instead of deleting the original information.  This leaves my post flapping in the breeze and nobody knows what the original post was, causing confusion.  It would have been more helpful if you would have just left the original post there so people could see it and be able to recognize it as a hoax if they ever see it again.  I know you meant well but might I suggest that in the future you "google" this kind of stuff before passing it along?  That's what your instructors should have done before they sent it to you too. Sincerely!
