[AT] OT virus warning

[Mike]

Hi Charlie, 
I also run AVG and Zone Alarm, and have for years with no problems after Norton let one slip past and trashed my system. Recently Consumer Reports rated anti virus programs and AVG didn't appear to do to well. I don't know how much stock I put in that because I've gone so long without a problem using it. Trend Micro was the highest rated program according to CS, so I tried their "Housecall" (it's free), it did find 2 nasties that AVG had missed or isn't designed to scan for.

H.L.  I think that virus might have gotten me.  I got a virus notification 
from my ISP but I can't find it when I scan my system.
It must be a tough one because I have AVG and Zone Alarm both looking at 
everything that comes into and leaves my computer.  I kept getting those 
cards and kept deleting them unopened but I finally got curious and since 
AVG said it was clean I opened one of them.

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm going to Kim's site now to see what she says 
about it.

Greetings! You have a virus
Have you been receiving a lot of e-card notifications? I have. But these
weren't really sent by friends or family. They're spam messages that direct
you to a malicious Web site. Your computer will be infected by a virus. And
antivirus programs can't protect you from these messages.

This warning came through from Kim Komando.  I have been receiving lots of
the so called greeting cards and hit the delete button ASAP.
