I have received several bogus email messages lately that claim to be Hallmark E-cards, but instead they try to launch a trojan when the link is clicked. BEWARE.

Here is what Hallmark has to say about them.

Basically no Hallmark E-cards come with Hallmark as a sender, and they will never have an attachment. Legitimate ones would have your correspondent's email address as sender.

I have good virus software that caught the trojan, but it could cause problems if it slips through.
