Aren't "they" getting cute!

You receive an e-Greeting card.  You open it.  Wasn't that nice of them 
to send you an e-Greeting.  They must *really* love you.

And, oh, by the way, when you open the e-Greeting, it installs
spyware...even includes a keystroke logger.  Isn't that thoughtful?

As the Desk Sargeant on Hill Street Blues used to say, and probably 
still does in syndication, "Be careful out there".

The idea is simple:

Through our service, you compose and send your lover a normal-looking 
"Greeting Card" saying "I Love you" or a similar message. Because 
the-mail appears to be a regular greeting card, the recipient will open 
the e-card and LoverSpy will be automatically and silently installed!

The program begins monitoring them IMMEDIATELY, there is no delay. It
records and sends you all e-mails they view, including Hotmail, Yahoo, 
and Outlook emails.

All the Passwords they type into their web browser are also recorded and
sent to you. Every single Chat conversation they have on the internet. 
In fact, every Key stroke they type into the computer is recorded and 
sent to you in an organized report. Every single web site they visit, 
whether using AOL, Internet Explorer, or Netscape.

EXACT copies of every Hotmail e-mail viewed, Yahoo, Excite, AOL, and 
even Outlook emails. All these e-mails are Forwarded to you in the 
background, in real-time! After they read their email, you will have a 
copy of it - seconds later.

LoverSpy will even extract all the Passwords stored in the computer 
being monitored, such as passwords for Outlook email accounts, and 
passwords saved inside Internet Explorer, and send these to the spy.
