IF you receive a Holiday/Christmas/Hanukah 'e card' from American Greetings from Laura
DO NOT OPEN IT as it has a very nasty virus.
This is from "my Compie Guru" and not a joke. He has to go to work today because someone there DID open it despite warnings not to : (

It doesn't have to be a holiday card and it doesn't have to be from Laura. Here's some info from the American Greetings website on how to tell whether an e-card is legit: . Apparently this kind of thing has been going on for several months at least.

E-cards have been used for malicious purposes for so long (years) and in so many different ways that you should never open one EVER, no matter who it's from (the sender can easily be faked). They were a very, very bad idea from the start.
