Online Valentine cards may contain Internet worm, FBI warns

AFP reports here at Yahoo News: WASHINGTON - Valentine’s Day e-greetings from a stranger could deliver more than the recipient bargained for in the shape of a destructive "Trojan horse" that hijacks computers, the FBI warned Tuesday. "If you unexpectedly receive a Valentine’s Day e-card, be careful," the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement, warning Internet users to "be on the lookout for spam emails spreading the Storm Worm malicious software (malware)."

As always as precaution we recommend NEVER open an e-mail attachment if you are not 100% sure what it is, even if it semas to be sent from somebody you trust, that persons computer might be infected and sending out e-mails with infected attachment without that person knowing anything about it!
