Hallmark E-card Virus Alert!

[Sandy Berger]

Watch out for a virus that your computer can get by clicking on a link to get what is purported to be an electronic greeting card from Hallmark.

I want to alert all of you to this because the email looks very, very real. They use the Hallmark logo and the design of the email is very well done. Sometimes typos and misspellings tip you off to a virus or scam. This one only had one error that I saw. Received was spelled "recieved". This is a common error and could be easily overlooked.

If you put your mouse over the link that they want you to click to get the card, without of course, clicking on the link, you will see that the link ends in .exe, which means it is an executable file. When clicked on, it will release a virus.

If you see this one in your email, don't fall for it!
