Worse, the sender email address is spoofed and the sender can be from webmaster of 1LoveCards.Com, administrator of greet2k.com, webmaster of FunnyPostcard.com, postmaster of Postcards.Com, Mail Delivery System of 2000greetings.com, postmaster of VintagePostcards.Com, webmaster of E-Cards.Com and etc.

However, receiving these infectious spam mail does not mean that your system is infected with the virus, although most virus scanner now stop the mail in inbox and direct them to bulk folder. Only when you click and visit the URL link, then a cocktail of browser and application exploits that attempts a drive-by install of malware on the users machine is performed. If your system is not secured with anti virus and patched with latest security hotfixes, the chances to get infected will be higher.

Most anti virus and security suites can now detect and remove this threat. Simply update the virus signatures to latest version, or if you haven’t yet, install a antivirus software.
