The newest virus circulating is the UPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line. It will say that they were un-able 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 that it is real:

Thanks for the info. I have already received at least two of these in the past week, they never reached my inbox. My ISP offer Emscan. Its a great tool that every POP3 mail server should be running. It costs about $3/Mo for them to implement. Also stops alot of phishing scams, VIRUSES and the best of all the SPAM.
