So how many of you have been getting The old "You received a greeting card "emails.

The FBI just released a warning that they have malicious code in them....NO, you're kidding duh!

I've been opening them up knowing there are viruses and stuff in there, but i don't worry, i got Linux:)....no greeting card by the way, just some .exc file.:(

Just got one in my work inbox (Windows) didn't open it. It's weird our mail server is usually pretty good at getting rid of them, not a problem for me as I don't use work e-mail for anything other than work so if the e-mail is not from my companie's domain I can erase it.

Haha, thanks for the link, I guess Wine is just too good nowadays.

I get them, but ignore them. I wonder if wine would give you a BSOD...

I tried running a trojan my parents got in an e-mail in Wine, but nothing happened.
