I keep getting emails saying i`ve received a greetings card, you have to open attachment.I have`nt done it because virgin media has also emailed me telling me its a virus.
So if you get emails like mine ignore them.The link says something about Hallmark Cards.

I had one yesterday saying that ""they had detected that an email I had been sent had a virus and not to open any links on it. To clear the virus click here"" This could catch some people unawares so be warned.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

And then there's the hoax email about a virus in a Hallmark postcard too:
http://www.hoax-slayer.com/postcard-virus-hoax.shtmlTime has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
Common sense should tell computer users not to open e-mails or attachments from unknown sources. "A friend sent you an e-card?" Surely a friend would identify themselves?
Unfortunately, common sense is remarkably uncommon.Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the restraints0
