[Rhodes22-list] UPS message virus

[Robert Skinner]

A new virus is circulating: "UPS Delivery Failure".

You may receive an email supposedly from UPS
Packet Service along with a packet number.

The word packet may be  mis-spelled on the subject
line. The message 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.
The attachment is an executable, and launches a virus.

In general, launching an attachment without knowing
its contents is a bad idea.  This one is really bad news.

My thanks to Ann Kahl for passing this warning along.
