Watch out for e-cards too. Someone on the bottle forum sent me one. (They claim to be a secret admirer or long lost friend) They have some kind of Trojan-32 virus on them. Sounds like a prophylactic. When you click their link you download the virus into your computer. Anyway, legit e-cards have the first and last name of the sender so you can verify and they don't contain links.

I got the e-mail 2 or 3 months ago. More recently I read that they are becoming a problem for a lot of unwary people. I'm not computer savvy but at the time I deleted it anyway because the whole content sounded wierd.

I tried to post this reply but it just keeps saying waiting approval - so I just want to say this - If you get an e-card from someone who says they are a bottle forum member and they are your long lost friend or secret admirer, don't click on the link. It downloads a virus into your computer.
