Thank you for the posting about a suspicious email that appears to be from 123Greetings. We understand your concern. The email that you received was NOT created using our system. Sometimes a “hacker” will emulate a large web site’s email format for malicious purposes. 123Greetings is in no way associated with the message or its contents. We are aware of this issue and are investigating.I want to assure you that 123Greetings does not attempt to install viruses, malware or any other software onto a user\'s computer. It would be a very short-sighted strategy for us to do so. If you feel that unknowingly, you have installed any spyware, malware or adware, we suggest you use the software of your choice to clean your system. I personally use SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html); other people in my office also use Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php). Please note that neither of these products is in any way affiliated to 123Greetings.com. We hope you find these suggestions helpful and look forward to having you on our site more often.
