Do Not Open Ecard Emails!

I just received this information:

Please DO NOT open any greeting card messages which look like the screen clip below: From IT: This is a known issue, and Microsoft is aware of it. This came through the MS Campus about two weeks ago. It isn’t a virus, but it does contain your typical host of mal/spy/adware, and opens your machine up to bot usage. There is no cure for it through official channels at this time. You must do a wipe and load if you are affected. Data is not compromised.

As this is not a virus, eTrust will not detect it. Like with any suspicious email, simply don’t open it and delete it unread.
