Valentine's Day is a big day for virus creators. They pray on e-mails containing e-cards, links to website about love and of course by tempting people do discover a 'secret admirer' by downloading a infected program.
The FBI have even warned about a virus going around, and have issued a press statement about the Storm Worm. It says:
If you unexpectedly receive a Valentine's Day e-card, be careful. It may not be from a secret admirer, but instead might contain the Storm Worm virus.
The Storm Worm virus has capitalized on various holidays in the last year by sending millions of e-mails advertising an e-card link within the text of the spam e-mail. Valentine's Day has been identified as the next target.
Just remember; be careful, don't click on any suspicious links contacts send you within Messenger and don't accept file downloads unless you know what they are.
