Sorry for the potential OT, but I thought it was
important...
"There is a new virtual postcard from Friend
Greetings, owned by
Permissioned
Media that prompts you to install
their software to view the card. You are
then
presented with a EULA
granting them permission to e-mail all the Contacts in
your Outlook
Address Book. Those people are presented with an e-mail
from
you
telling them they have a greeting card to pick up. So, this
thing spreads
like a
worm, but includes a EULA that 95% of users
won't take the time to read.
Symantec isn't detecting this as a virus,
but does have information about it
on
their site. In addition to the
worm-like way it spreads, it also installs
spyware
designed to
deliver ads to your computer. You also give them permission to
install
further software any time they want. In my opinion this is
completely
nasty,
but it's all clearly in the EULA that you must agree to before
it
installs
the
software."
