i'm seeing some evidence that some members of these lists (who will go
unnamed) have fallen for a new social engineering virus/worm piece of
malware.
DO NOT open anything from friend-greetings.com or install anything at their
prompting.
i repeat, DO NOT OPEN IT.
it's a nasty bit of business. it goes through your outlook/outlook express
address book, and sends the same innocent seeming message to everyone in
it.
in a couple of weeks, you'll start getting popup porn ads on your desktop.
SO DON'T OPEN IT.
