Thinking that someone just remembered you and sent you a Hallmark greeting card? Think again, before you open the email attachment.

Better yet, open no attachments unless you are 100% sure of their origin and were expecting them.

Disregard that last statement if your are female (with certain exceptions ;)), blonde etc - you are gonna do anyway, so we may as well give you permission right now  >:D

I had a Trojan flagged up last week ,it came with an email from the Ecard company I think, luckily the scanner found it first, it came with my daughters email address attached, so I've had to warn her to do a scan too.
