"Back...OMG"

I just received a bogus ecard/egreeting from an unknown source. According to Snopes.com these may contain a very malicious virus. The page/information was just updated yesterday, August 14. I did not open the link provided before checking to see if it was safe. I'm very glad I did this, now!

Quite right, Stalean ... there's been a spate of these lately. Most have a subject line of "you have received a funny ecard from a friend" or something similar. Just ignore them, don't click, and delete pronto!

Never a problem for me, I don't have friends to send them to me. So if a get an Ecard, I know it's fake.
