QuoteWorm-laden messages are titled "Happy New Year" and contain an attachment called either postcard.exe or postcard.zip, according to experts at VeriSign's iDefense Labs, which provides information on security flaws and exploits.

According to F-Secure, the New Year theme postcards currently include expressions such as:


       
  • "Fun Filled New Year"
       
  • "May Your Dreams Come True!"
       
  • "Sparkling Happiness And Good Times!"
       
  • "Sender Happy 2007!"

 Corrine, I thought you would enjoy these !!
I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truckload when I'm gone.


THESE ARE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,


I know it doesn't belong here and you may take it out after viewing, I couldn't figure out how else to do it.
