What happened to the free `Hallmark` Ecards?

New email virus from ecards? WARNING: this just happened to me.?

• A malicious new virus has been circulating the Internet recently, trying to sneak into your computer's back door by posing as a friendly greeting from a loved one. The SPAM email looks innocent enough. With a common-looking subject line such as, "You've received an e-card from a family member!" and an apparent well-known sender (such as e-card giants AmericanGreetings.com, BlueMountain.com and Hallmark.com), it's easy to fall victim to opening up the email. If you absolutely must know if the link is valid, highlight the link, copy it and paste it directly into your browser's address bar.
