I've had a few of these emails in this morning
-------------------------------------------------
Dear recipient !

Sender at 'Nikol' sent you an "e-card"
"Here's the Rub" from 'greeting-cards'.

Click_here_to_view_the_"e-card".

This "ecard" will be stored for one week, so
print or save the card as soon as possible.

Hope you enjoy our "e-cards"! Spread the love and send one of our "e-cards"!


Brought to you by 'greeting cards' - a better way to greet!

Needless to say, do not click link

When you go to the site it immediately asks you to install the latest version of Flash Player. I'd put a large amount of money on the .exe that it sends you not being anything to do with Flash Player!

Not even knowing a Nikol got deleted tout suite.......

I got 3 as well.

Just scanned the puter and after these e-mails (without clicking the link)
I had picked up 1 trojan and a data miner called ALEXA.
I would suggest anyone who has recieved these emails do a scan.
