One of our colleagues received a tantalising email Valentine’s day message yesterday. It appeared to come from AmericanGreetings.com but, of course, sender addresses can be faked by the bad guys.
When you click on the link in the email, to see the e-card, it invites you to install the Flash Player. In fact, it installs a trojan which scans your computer for your passwords and sends them to criminals.
See F-Secure’s website for more details about this virus and see Get Safe Online for advice about online dating (well, it is Valentine’s day!) and for advice about installing anti-virus software.
