Postcard from Hallmark Virus Hoax

Hoax Viruses AntiVirus Gratuitos Holiday Greeting Card Free AntiVirus Software Postcard
Description:
A hoax. The Postcard from Hallmark virus hoax is a knock-off on the old A Virtual Card for You hoax. The Postcard from Hallmark hoax includes a link to a Snopes article which is worded in such a way that it appears the hoax warning is legitimate. It isn't. While greeting card scams do exist, they don't bear any resemblance to what's outlined in the hoax. Following is one example of the Postcard from Hallmark virus hoax:

But you should also look here: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

This is a hoax.

This sort of post really shows why people need to be careful and check their sources with someone who knows what they are talking about. Non computer literate people panic and spam the ether with panic messages causing more damage than an actual virus, if it were to exist.

if your worried about virus go to folders and look for windows script host and delete it that the program virus look for to attack you PC I learned this way back when only win/98 was around and it worked then it should still work

Here is another email from a friend!This one is real-- check out Snoops and Truth or Fiction-- also listed are some other varieties.
