Exclamation Hallmark Email Virus

If anybody gets an email supposedly from Hallmark with the following text ...

Hello!

You have recieved a Hallmark E-Card from your friend.

To see it, check the attachment.

There's something special about that E-Card feeling. We invite you to make a friend's day and send one.

Hope to see you soon,
Your friends at Hallmark

Your privacy is our priority. Click the "Privacy and Security" link at the bottom of this E-mail to view our policy.


DO NOT OPEN IT! It has an attachment zip file that contains a virus (which the Hotmail scanner very helpfully says is unknown ) so it's best to avoid even downloading the email, certainly don't attempt to open the attachment. The email itself looks authentic, until you realise the links at the bottom don't work .. never a good sign.

I've had two of these to one email account tonight, so it's doing the rounds.

Glad to help, I aim to please .... normally miss but the thought's there.

It seems the same virus, or very similar, is also doing the rounds but purporting to be from the furniture company IKEA. It claims to be offering free software called Home Planner and to follow instructions in the attachement .. don't, don't, don't!

Again, the attachment is infected and you should really avoid even downloading it.
