I received a couple of messages today from postcards.com.  They say that "a family member has sent you a greeting, click here".  I was checking my messages through webmail and not Outlook so I thought it might be safe to open the message.  In the message I realized that if I clicked on the link to download the greeting, it would try to save a .exe file to my hard drive.  While I was pondering how to safely exit out of the browser window, Norton pops up and tells me that it just intercepted a virus being saved to my hard drive.  So be on the lookout for messages like this.
