Beware: UPS/Fed Ex/DHL/USPS Virus‏

Sharing the following email with you:

With Christmas coming up felt this is worth passing along again. This could be a real problem during the busy holidays and even earlier. At least read and be aware!

The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure. You will receive an e-mail allegedly from UPS/Fed Ex Service along with a packet number. It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!

Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and
home. This virus has caused millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.


Snopes confirms this is real.
