Hallmark E cards attack

[Charles Jones]

What all is involved in the fix? One of my co-workers apparently got his 
laptop zapped by it. From what he said it infects the winlogon.exe, so 
not only do you have to clean the virus from loading, but you have to 
replace the winlogin.exe with a known good copy.  What a pain. 
Personally I cannot believe that any mail filters still allow .exe file 
attachments, or that people would actually run a .exe file they received 
in email!
