Hallmark Greeting card Virus

Hallmark Greeting Card Virus

If you have received an email advising a friend has sent you a hall mark greeting card, beware. The link will take you to a site to download a program called "veryfunny.jpg.exe" from a site at volkhov.info. The attachment spawns a nasty malware from the "i love you" virus that was so prominent a few years back.

The email itself is pasted below for your review.
