I can understand the 'itchy trigger finger' response to this email in light
of everything going on the past two weeks. I have seen reports on CNN about
the Nimda virus so that right there could be one reason. Granted, this
person should've read through the entire email and then should've checked
the AV sites, but I think a little leniency should be awarded.
It's been a rough couple of weeks for all of us, let's not be too harsh.

The "A Virtual Card for You" is a hoax. You will find it listed on
most AV sites.
