Beware of 'You have received A Hallmark E-Card!'

If you receive this email don't open because it will try to install a virus on your computer. Here is what mine basically looked like...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hello! You have received a Hallmark E-Card.To see it, click here, 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. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

The 'here' hyperlink was a link to a rocketcolo.net site and it has an hallmark.gif.exe file that it will automatically download to your computer. 

I changed the 'here' to www.hallmark.com so folks would not click on it and install something bad for your computer. Be carefull when clicking on links in emails you recieve from strangers and even friends. If you run your mouse over the link a small text string should appear that shows what the hyperlink is on most Internet browsers. 

If you have a Maytag Neptune front loader and it gets a virus or declines in performance check out www.neptunewaxmotor.com for help.

Until next time...
