So I got an email a bit ago, and I knew what it was once I opened it, but I know others might not.

If you go to the website it will show a flash video that doesn't play and then wants you to download ecard.exe.

I did not install it, but I am 99.9% sure it's a scam/virus or both.

Yup, I've been using Thunderbird for awhile and have a few email addresses that are spam prone. When checking one of the junk folders I had hundreds of those e-card messages.

I also receive several of these each day, sometimes from "friend", "neighbor", or "mate".
