Thanks for the 'heads up' about this!

I simply and utterly don't open any ecards anymore - and gently suggest none of my friends do either. Most of us are getting savvy to things like things - simply because of the wonderful advice on sites like ours here - but there are zillions of the vulnerable out there (usually really young or even sadder, older folks) who's computers are destroyed by stuff like this.

Thanks again, Plastic Nev.
