Title: China warns of virus-tainted mooncake e-cards
Post by: chokkan 2 on September 16, 2007, 04:24:31 AM

China has warned Internet users to be wary of downloading virus-infected mooncake greeting cards ahead of the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival after a wave of Internet worms hit hard-drives last year.

Mooncakes, sweet pastries with a bean base, are traditionally eaten and given as gifts during the festival, also known as the Moon Festival, a celebration of plenty and togetherness which falls on September 25 this year.

But local Web sites offering electronic versions have become popular in recent years. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070914/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_china_mooncakes;_ylt=Ag2k6q0c4TPAufYRv0KIc0ftiBIF)

Time to get anti-virus and anti-spyware apps installed and protecting their comps.
Those sound like newb mistakes to me, which means they'll be learning the hard way about virus' and spyware.
