Windows 7: Cute Christmas E Cards

Just a little reminder for all the members and visitors. The holiday season is here, and we are all thinking about our families, friends, and loved ones. Unfortunately, there are some evil people out there, who are not thinking about love and family. They are thinking up new ways to infect our computers and make our lives miserable.

If you should receive a nice invitation to open a Holiday Card, from someone close to you and who you trust, resist the impulse to open it. It is not that difficult for "the bad people out there" to steal the contents of "Mom's" address book and send a card with a bad virus in her name.

Furthermore, I will not even tell you to call first to make sure who the card is from. At best that "cute" card" will be the cause of your email address to be sold to others, until eventualy "they will get it".

In any event, I am not trying to dampen your holiday spirit but rather make sure it is a happy one.

Happy Holiday All
Richard

Thanks Rich.. forewarned is forearmed..

Heh when I saw the headline I initially thought you were promoting some e card site you found with cute cards on it and I was going to come on and "grinch" by saying prety much exactly what you did

The entire e-vite/e-card thing which was nice for about 6 months 7 years ago has been completely destroyed by spammers and phishers

Mine to the forum members is in the 'chillout room', under hating e-cards
