    I just received an email from the account that I never heard of. The subject line read "To the tune of celebration. A very happy New Year" and the message said almost the same with a link that was made to look like an ecard website. On that website, it said to click on another link (happy_2008.exe) to view the message.

    Ladies, NEVER EVER click on any links that you receive from any email addresses that you don't know of. It's most likely a computer virus or something that wouldn't do any good to your computer. Just delete any emails that don't include the sender's name. Those viruses aren't only sent as attached files but can be sent as something like this. Believe me, I am a computer geek myself but was almost made to think that it was an ecard from someone I just didn't remember!

    Hugs,

    Fumi

    Thanks Zilla! That's a great reminder - especially since I know there's been a lot of activity this year (well LAST year! lol) with fake e-cards containing viruses.
