I thought I received a Hallmark e-card from somebody this morning.
When I clicked the link to claim the card, it turned out to be an automatic download of some application - that when I opened is loaded with viruses.
Thank God my PC automatically blocked it.
Darn, I thought I was sent an e-card! So be careful before clicking any link.
Make sure that your anti-virus is updated and fully functional.

Yes, anti-virus got to be current & configured.
Your OS (Operating System - Windoze, MacOS, Linux, BSD, etc) too should be up to date.
Anti-spyware-rootkit, lots of anti I guess; the Internet is
a war zone or at least it’s the wild, wild west. Of course, there’s no silver bullet on these stuff, just like the real world, Okay? Now, the sun’s still on the east side(AM), that’s a good thing . . .
