Now I know why. Folks, you don't want to download that greeting card. I don't want to toss more geek stuff onto the list, so write me privately fi you want more details. Suffice it to say you need to be careful going to any site that asks you to download anything unless you know it well enough to trust it. I needed to make sure we weren't crying wolf over a harmless card, because false positives hurt just as badly as missed viruses. This, unfortunately, is a new breed of bad stuff. sigh. -- Chuq Von Rospach, Architech [[email protected]] -- http://www.plaidworks.com/chuqui/blog/ No! No!
