Default You've received a greeting ecard from a Friend!

Never click on links in such emails.

Just a warning to fellow THB members.

I've been receiving a lot of these.

The sender appears to be from e-greetings, postcard.com etc but when you check their email address, you'll know.

It is usually associated with a postcard.exe file;

do not run this file on the link or you will be in trouble.....

It is a potentially dangerous file that will close all the applications and hard to remove.

I get those all the time, but thank goodness my email filter picks them up, so the don't actually go to my inbox. They get flagged as virus infected, and held in quarantine.

I don't honestly know Fendi. I've never let it get full. I don't even know how many emails would fill it up

That email along with the mine is bigger than yours and the pharmacy ones are junt tenacious. I can't see that these emails can earn anybody any money so what is the purpose?

Don't you wonder what kind of sad life someone would have to be living, that their greatest joy is to potentially destroy a stranger's computer? Really, I think I could find better things to do with my time.
