Virus for Valentine's
Predictably there is a new virus running about on email. The Valentine's virus, which contains the Dref-AB worm, has various subject lines but all contain a file similar to:
flash postcard.exe
greeting postcard.exe
greeting card.exe
postcard.exe
Like most viruses and worms lately, this one as well downloads other malicious programs from the Internet some of which can attach your computer to a zombie network or take control of the computer/files or use it to send spam, which is probably the least upsetting of the choices, but still definitely something you want to avoid.
