Suspicious greeting card email?

I just got a greeting card notification email from recipient 'tgq' and clicked on the link, which was http://jonrayhomes.com/april28-71428.htm... (dont go there though!!!). I then got a page with a happy birthday message (its not my bday) and a picture of some penguins. Has anyone else had this? Im worried this is a worm and that a script may have run when I visited the site. I tried to close the browser straight away and had trouble, had to use Ctrl Alt Delete in the end.





The subject of the email was "Reminder Online Greeting Card Waiting For You"





Ive since found out one of my friends had the same email a week ago, and also visited the site.

Suspicious greeting card email?
Report the email as spam, download Ad Aware (do a google search for it) and scan your computer for viruses.
