I don't look at any of those cards unless I know the person very well and expected one.
Nearly all junk mail gets treated as such and binned without a second thought 
Thanks for the warning though! Never go a miss, I would rather get a false warning that none as it were 
Good tip about the name of the person

Re: 'Postcard' Virus- Genuine warning!!
Don't ever, ever send E Cards to anyone. It may have been a great idea in the late 90's but it has now become an easy way to hijack PC's through HTML sources and infect them with a virus. Better to send a card through the post these days than by e-mail. |
