I have recieved several e-mails recently saying that I have an e-postcard from a family member or a friend. Does anyone know anything about this or even heard of this???? I just want to make sure that I'm not going to get a virus or something.

E-card are ok
E-postcards......delete them..........don't even open them! I think it is a virus! Mark them as spam and block the email address that they came from!

Probably infected. Many have an infected link to a Hong Kong (.hk) domain. Just delete 'em without opening.
A legitimate e-card will usually state the actual name of the sender. Not that it is from a "friend" or a "family member".

This is a known MALWARE attack, delete them.
It uses several holes to try to attack systems.
