Inside, it says: A Greeting Card is waiting for you at our virtual post office! You can pick up your postcard at the following web address: . http://www._____x_____.net/u/view.php?id=a0190313376667 But the link actually points to: http://carma._____y____.com/postcard.jpg.exe Needless to say, I won't be clicking on it. It's been around since at least last year according to [link\|http://www.sophos.com/pressoffice/news/articles/2005/06/va_postcards.html\|Sophos]. I wonder why it's back... Be careful... Cheers, Scott.

Basically it's a waste of time, but it could be a risk too. Since I run OS/2 I feel free to click on just about anything to find out what it does. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
