"Computer users should keep a wary eye on any romantic messages received by e-mail, as many of them could contain malicious code," said US security firm PandaLabs after detecting an increase in a worm it dubbed Nurech.A.
The worm hides in e-mails with subjects like: "Together You and I," "Til the End of Time Heart of Mine."
People who open an attached file such as postcard.exe can end up infecting their computers.
By now, everyone should know not to open suspicious emails, and certainly not to open an attachment.
I guess a Valentine's message is too much to resist.
