NEVER, NEVER open any online postcard or greeting card even when it says it is from someone you know. It will bring you a virus that will take lots of money and work to remove. Never use one of the online offers to correct the problem. They are the ones who created the virus in the first place. Send a separate email to the person whose name you know and let them know that you cannot open the item. They probably know nothing about it.
