Default Valentines Day brings virus and spam


Engagement rings, roses and chocolates are often associated with Valentines Day, but computer users are now receiving viruses and email spam. Major anti-vendors like Symantec and Panda are reporting several new email-based viruses and Trojan horses that masquerade as romantic messages. Sophos, another anti-virus vendor, says inboxes are being flooded with picture-laden email spam.

The Valentine's Day viruses and Trojan horses hide inside of emails with provocative subject lines like "Together You and I" and "Til the End of Time". People are encouraged to open the attached file postcard.exe that then infects the computer. Panda Software is advising its users to be extremely wary of such attachments.
