I received the email, “123greetings.com You received an ecard from a family member.” I opened the email, but I was suspicious since no name was mentioned, so I did NOT open the card. I have not been having any problems, except that when I open my email account, I get a warning that some outsider may be trying to intercept the connection. I always choose to cancel the connection, but I am worried that someone may be reading my emails or stealing my files. I have cleaned my hard drive, but what can I do to make sure that my computer is safe and not infected?

I recieved the email ” You recieved and ecard from a worshipper” and stupidly opened it to see the postcard. Now my computer has the virus and i need a solution to fix it and restore my computer to normal. Can someone please, get back to me ASAP and let me know what to do.
Thanks,
Ruth

Not sure, as it is sending message directly back to the sender.

sent by “mypostcards.com” with the subject

This e-mail has been quarantined.

We strongly recommend that you report this suspect activity.

Have received many such phony greetings, AND also messages purportedly from McAfee VirusScan, e.g.:
McAfee VirusScan E-mail Scan has detected a potential threat in this e-mail sent by “funnypostcard.com” with the subject You’ve received a greeting ecard …!. This e-mail has been quarantined. We strongly recommend that you report this suspect activity.to “funnypostcard.com” .

SHOULD WE REPORT THE ACTIVITY TO THE SENDER AS DIRECTED????

I received a greeting card from a worshipper at work. It was the day of my birthday. Fortunately my anti-virus programme spotted that there was a virus attached. So, I was lucky!

I received the one from worshipper… I have TrendMicro installed – and it saw the virus come in.. but it didn’t stop it completely. It affected my ie, and would crash it constantly. (some seem to be affected differently..???)

so, first trend micro did find the virus and kill it.. but I still had the ie crashing problem. I used XP’s system restore function.. and set my system to the day before I received the virus. And it worked! only wish I had thought of this sooner as I dealt with the crashing for almost 10 days!!!!!

Amazing part – I have probably received another 30 or so of these greeting card messages.. all pretending to be from different card sites – just like the others are mentioning. I never would have opened it in the first place if I had not received it from a site I (thought) I knew – and on my anniversary!
