DANGER - Security Warning
8/17/2007 8:45:08 AM
Not exactly Adlandpro related, but certainly could affect Adlandpro friends. Have you received emails that appear to be from a friend or family member sending you an online greeting card?

DANGER!

There's a really virulent worm being spread at the moment which
apparently is the most widespread and most virulent worm for over
a year.

It arrives in your email inbox with an email subject line that
appears to be a greetings card from a friend, a buddy, a family
member, a colleague, a mate, etc etc.

If you fall for it and click the link to 'collect' your so called
greetings card you're done for, because the worm is then released
into your computer. It waits their patiently until it receives a
message from its creator instructing it to send emails out from
YOUR Address book to unsuspecting friends or colleagues.

This spreads the worm further and also spreads a scam email about
stocks and shares, which eventually makes money for the scum
who initiated it.
