Do not click on that greeting card link, just yet! Last year it was Viagra and Russian Women spamming the e-mail. Lately it is those, "you have a greeting card from, a friend, schoolmate, girlfriend...etc". Best advice if someone sends you a greeting card link do not click on it unless you actually recognize who sent it to you. Remember those old movies where you had to "invite" the vampire into your house to get bit. Well the same is true here. By clicking onto the provided greeting card link you "invite" possible trouble into your personal cyber world. I hate clicking on e-mail links, even the ones my friends pass on to me. Most of these are benign, but you never really know. So be sure you scan your system regularly. Also, avoid those "pass this on to 10 people in ten minutes" type emails. This type of pyramid e-mail just fills up servers. BTW, there are some new developments in virus protection software (AV software). The old school had AV software checking for problems by comparing questionable items to a database of possible threats. This technique is only as good as the latest update to the database. New AV software is getting "intelligent". The new protection actually looks at how programs are running or trying to run on your machine. If they look suspect a warning goes out and they are stopped and you are notified. With thousands of virus writers out there that get their jollies from sending us stuff to trash our hard drives, this is a great new direction for computer security
