[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: DON'T OPEN THE GREETING CARD. IT'S A VIRUS [NTLUG:Discuss] Discuss@Ntlug. you have a greeting card from Steve.

[Jack Snodgrass]

actually... If this is the one I read about... it's not a virus. You
have to 
download a program and agree to the User License. This says that 
they are going to use your address book and mail a copy of the 
program/greeting card to everyone you know. If they want to view the 
card, they have to agree to send the card to everyone they know...etc. 
More like a worm... but the user has to be dumb enough to agree to 
the terms.
