I haven't heard of such. Which doesn't mean that such doesn't exist. Make
sure your antivirus definitions are current. Get a second opinion from
another source. If you have a microphone, check its settings; you could be
picking up ambient room noise.

I have my contacts trained to not send me electronic greeting cards. The
less scrupulous companies use them to harvest email addresses for spammers.
plus they often include scripts for "cute" actions. I don't like letting
every script that comes my way run. MS Windows Update, a banking site; no
others.
