This is lame, I know that there is a lot of Spam out there but there is also a lot of "you need to download this ecard or download this fix for your computer" but what it is, is a tracking link that tells the system that you exist and then gets you to download a bot net program.

These things popped up a wile back in ecards, saying "your grandma sent you a card, download to receive it" but it owns your computer now. And then turns your computer into a mail server pushing out loads of spam, DoS attacks, or viruses.
