Computer Virus - Package Delivery Failure

image1
With Christmas coming up, this could be a real problem.

The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure. You will receive an e-mail from UPS/Fed Ex Service along with a packet number or waybill. 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!

This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage. UPS has posted a notice on their website. They say that they may send notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. Snopes confirms that it is real.

Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home.

The UPS Site: for information regarding fraud, and protecting your account.
