Infected Valentine's Cards Ready To Surge
If you receive an electronic card or e-card in the next few weeks that looks anything like a St. Valentine's Day card, be very careful about opening it.
Impatient hackers have begun their romancing season early this year and are sending out millions of spam emails and e-cards that link to infected web sites.
The infection waiting for your embrace is the Storm Trojan, one of the biggest security threats of last year. If you click on the card, expect to have your computer hijacked, data pilfered, and heart broken. Love really can hurt!

I found this blog post, and thought it interesting. I have been using CyberDefender which has an ID Theft function as part of it, a toolbar that comes with it called MyIdentityDefender. MID allows you to rate sites as well as see how the site has been rated as far as trustworthyness. I think MID is also avalible as just the toolbar too but I have the whole cyberdefender package. I actually hit a couple sites which had warnings, and later found that they were part of ID Theft scams. I think MyIdentityDefender is a great toolbar and since getting cyberdefender I have not had any virus or malware issues.
