This message has come my way from quite a few of you. Jerry Johnson sent it tonight and I thought since he did get the virus message, maybe this might save even one of you from a bit of computer stress over the holidays.
Subject: The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure email
I received this E-mail about a week ago. I did not print the attachment as it did not make sense. Jer
Felt this worth passing along. With Christmas coming up, I can see where 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. 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.
Snopes confirms that it is real.
