You've opened your inbox and you are all excited to see a you have a Valentine's Day e-card. Before you throw all caution to the wind, you better read this!
Usually around holidays millions of innocent looking emails disguised as e-cards will go out. Don't be a victim. The e-cards actually contain a computer virus believed to be from Russia. Once you click on the e-card your computer is immediately, but secretly, infected with the virus. Your computer is then at the mercy of the people who sent the e-card. They can launch commands to send more spam emails or other criminal activity such as stealing your identity.
The virus has been around for years, but spammers like to take advantage of the holidays because more people are susceptible to open an e-card around those times of the year.
As for tomorrow, no matter how tempting it may be, don't open anything if you are not sure who it is from.
