Its just a link to a web site. No saying what the site will do if you
actually visit it, though.

Anyway, I have set our email filter to block out the words in the subject,
just in case it becomes a plague.

The message brings you to their site and then it installs some
software. Right after installing it seems to mass mail itself. I
would suggest blocking www.friendgreetings.com at your firewall so
that your users can't get to it.

I have already e-mailed the site administrator for
www.friendgreetings.com so that they can look into it.
