IMPORTANT! DO NOT GO TO THE WEB SITE IN THE ATTACHED MESSAGE!!!! When a recipient clicks on the link, the user is prompted to download the Friend Greetings Setup Software in order to view the E-Card. If a user accepts the End User License Agreement to install the software, an e-mail is sent to all contacts in the user's Microsoft Outlook Address Book. The E-Card e-mail propagates itself like a worm or virus. Additionally, the Friend Greetings Software itself is not classified as a virus or a worm. It is a new form of SPAM or unsolicited e-mail advertisements. A fuller explanation can be read in a recent CNN article, which can be found at:
