Heard this on the radio this morning but so far I can't find any online articles to back it up. But if this is legit, at least I warned you!
Don't open any e-cards today, unless you know the person sending it. Apparently the virus subject heading is "so-and-so has sent you a greeting" or "you've receiving an e-greeting".....something like that.
Guess next year you need to send your Valentine's e-cards Feb. 13th? Sigh.......
If I can find an article I'll edit and post the link.

TIANJIN, Feb. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Experts warn computer users to guard against computer viruses as Valentine's Day draws near.
A virus, known as "Vbs_Valentin.A" to break out next Tuesday, will spread chiefly through e-mails or on-line chat systems, according to China National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center on Sunday.
Other viruses like "Worm-blebla.B" and "VBS-ILoveyou" will also assault computers if users open e-mails or attachments disguised with Valentine blessings.
The computer virus center reminded users of being wary of unidentified e-mails, update anti-virus software and use the real-time computer virus monitoring function whenever surfing the Internet.
Among other viruses to break out next week are "W97M-Concept.F", which will break out next Thursday. When users running Word documents, an infected computer will show a dialog box of "-Parasite Virus 1.0X Your computer is infected with the Parasite Virus, version 1.0." The virus will substitute "." with ",", "and" with "not" and "a" with "e" in the computer's Word documents.
