    I received a greeting card from "American Greeting Card" I suspected it was bull, but like an idiot, I opened it.

    Get a good anti-virus program, make sure it's updated, run it in safe Mode.

    I actually read about this one this afternoon...

    It's a rapidly spreading worm
    Storm Worm's virulence may change tactics - Network World

    Most likely a biproduct of the Storm Worm

    "Known as Friends Greeting or worm_friendgrt.B", according to PC World

    PC World - Friendly Greeting Hides Worm has instructions on removal, but I don't know if that will help... seems to me that a worm wouldn't uninstall that easily.

    I do agree with NeedKarma. A good antivirus with updates, run a full system scan in safe mode, should take care of it. If you don't have an antivirus, I'd recommend AVG, by Grisoft. It's free.

    Retsoksirhc, I miss named it as Virus, Have done virus scans, bots, different things, none worked. Thinking root or registry problem. Not A Computer Expert. Will check those Links.
    Thanks, Take Care
