Naw, it's the supposed "supermarket to the world", yet another corporate agricultural/food middleman. Swede --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Bogdan Swider" wrote:

mudslides. Hey, now, Northern CA is getting some weather. Snow up here today. Voluminous rain droppings at the lower levels, snow on the mountain roads. Imagine Hwy 29 over Mt. St. Helena - of course, it's closed today, due to cars sliding all over the road, and off. Bill 140 miles north of Conall

nklr watch out for greeting cards

Be on your guard for a web site called FriendGreetings.com which is allegedly responsible for incorporating some type of Spyware software into their greeting cards. Basically: if you use this web site to send a friend a greeting card, you're also sending your friend a nasty piece of software (Spyware) without them knowing about it, in all probability. Thought you would like to be warned about this. The holidays are here again and as usual there are people out there on the Internet trying to take advantage of that fact. Don t get caught up in this one. Have a great and safe holiday. Those cute little electronic greeting cards you occasionally get from friends may be a real problem: one of those where there's a link that says, [Some Name] has sent you a greeting card. Go here to get your greeting card' There's a new card company called 'FriendGreetings.com'. When you get a card notification from them and click on the link, it will take you to their site You will be notified that you have to install an ActiveX control in order to view the card. When you begin to install, the first thing that pops up is what is known as a "EULA" (End User License Agreement). It is very long and you will not read it. They're counting on that. When you scroll to the bottom of it and click "Accept," you have agreed to the terms of the EULA. Part of what you will have agreed to is to have [an alleged] monitoring/spyware software component installed on your computer which will periodically report a vast array of data back to the card company. The other part that you've agreed to is to have the software send mail to every single address in your address book. Since there is no virus in the email, and since you've voluntarily agreed to install the ActiveX component, anti-virus programs will not catch this. DO NOT OPEN EMAIL ATTACHMENTS when you are not expecting them, and to be safe, [it is recommended that you] DO NOT RUN ANYTHING FROM THE INTERNET WHICH REQUIRES A EULA AGREEMENT. See: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2124528,00.html " I searched Google for FriendGreetings.com I did a search on Google which queried FriendGreetings.com and spyware on the same line. It appears that there's lots of other sites that are talking about it. Anyway, just be careful. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail&xAPID=42&PS=47575&PI=7324&DI=7474&SU= http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg&HL=1216hotmailtaglines_stopmorespam_3mf
