Virus alert

Sorry for posting this here (but thought it would get better readership here).

If you receive an e-mail entitled: "You have received a postcard" from post@postcard.com delete it without opening.

It contains a javascript exploit virus.

Most decent antivirus software should pick it up as an Exploit virus, but don't try to open it, in case yours doesn't.

Hi all,

It's strange that Roy posted that piece of info, I've had just that, in the last few days, I've had at least three of those, and I've just automatically deleted them, because I do that if there's anything from anyone that I don't know.

I have "mailwasher" so that I can see what's come into my inbox and delete it before "outlook" opens.
