(PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -- Love is a virus" so goes a song. But the virus writers have taken this one too seriously. This Valentine’s Day, beware of emails from a “Silent Admirer”, with some romantic subject lines. The smart Virus writer knows that there are many, who believe their dream lover will appear from nowhere on this celebrated day of love. Trust Virus-men for psychological ploys!

“The nature of genuine Valentine emails have changed over the last few years. Flash files or .exe attachments will require you to download a particular file or click on a specific link to play. Now this method can be employed by Virus creator, to infect your computer with a Trojan, Worm or Spyware.” Explains Govind Rammurthy, CEO, MicroWorld Technologies.

MiicroWorld experts have found that worm "Vbs_Valentin.A" is most likely to surface on the Valentines Day. Others like Worm-blebla.B" and "VBS-ILoveyou" too, may have some dangerous love bites in store for you.

The security firm urges its users to update their anti-virus software eScan and MailScan to defeat these disguised threats. It’s also well advised to stay away from any Valentine message from strangers. At the end of the day, no e-card is worth risking your precious personal information, cautions Rammurthy.
