My dad just rang me up, he told me that he was told by his accountant about a new virus sent through email, which completely deletes everything on your C drive.
The subject of the email should be something like ''HALLMARK POSTCARD'' or something like that. What supposedly happens, you get sent the email, it asks you to open an image, and then thats it, computer deleted.

Stay safe everyone!

I don't open such emails anyways, you can preview them through the windows pane (split-window configuration) in your mail program. most mail programs..

should be fail-safes in place for when you ever try to delete you c: drive..
the system won't let you especially if it's the active drive or partition.
