Re: Fake e-card viruses getting harder to stop

They are especially hard to stop, when you have to maintain over 1000 users. No matter how many times you tell them NOT to open something, they will open it.

I even got one several weeks ago from "an admirer." Being a curmudgeon, I can be sure in the fact that ESPECIALLY this one was false. I have no admirers, and if I did, I would have to kill them.

Oh, and now the spam is coming in the form of .PDF files. Be on the lookout for viagra, penile and breast implant, get rich quick, and other schemes coming attached as .PDFs.

And I am sure that those losers users will open them, even though they have been told not to open anything that they were not expecting.
