3. Yup.

I've had at least a couple of those "A friend has sent you a greeting card!" type messages in my bulk mail almost every day. Fortunately, Yahoo email has very good spam protection and I've never opened any of those.

These are a real vehicle for a real virus going around, as confirmed by McAfee and Snopes. Be careful.

The moral: keep your Windows patched :-)

Other moral: go to the source, e.g. McAfee
