| 700864 | 2008-08-27 06:18:00 | Three of these have come in recently on my son's email. None get past Mailwasher, but I'm curious as to whether they carry a nasty payload or whether they are just an Ecard marketing ploy. Anybody seen them before or know their background?

Thanks for that Safari, I'll dump any future cards that come. I was reluctant to do that before because they were addressed to my son but I'll delete them from now on. I don't look at my kids' emails, but for home network security all incoming mail passes through a single point of entry and Mailwasher before it goes to their computers so I can intercept any nasties.

| 700868 | 2008-08-27 11:08:00 | There are a few doing the rounds, just finished cleaning out a Customers PC last weekend, it was meant to be from Ecards - a legit site - it was even addressed from a person he knew, who we found out didn't send it - BUT it had a hidden .exe in the link - instant infection of Winantivirus 2008. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 700869 | 2008-08-27 11:33:00 | yea, those damn things have been doing the rounds for a while Noticed an upsurge of them again the last 5 or 6 months tho Warning of malicious e-cards Posted by: Nikola Strahija on December 21, 2001 People are being warned to watch out for computer viruses which could be hidden in electronic Christmas cards......... |

| 700870 | 2008-08-27 12:42:00 | I've been getting them too for a few days, but gmail sticks them straight into the spam folder, with a warning about them not being from who they purport to be from. | annie (6010) | ||
| 700871 | 2008-08-27 20:27:00 | I've been getting a few, telling me someone had sent one. But nobody ever sends them. And it didn't say who it was from/for, and in my opinion any email from a random source wanting me to download an executable file is dodgy. |

| 700872 | 2008-08-27 20:53:00 | Got 2 yesterday agonised wether to open it. Thought it might be be some chick wanting my parts. But deleted them. I wonder why they are getting past xtras spam filter if they so wide spread |

| 700873 | 2008-08-27 20:58:00 | Well, it's not Xtra's spam filter, it's Yahoo's, and it's rubbish. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
