kcjenkins Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 A virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure. You may receive an email 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. http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/ups.asp http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2008/07/15/ups-virus-warning.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Based on this article, it is an old virus. UPS Virus Warning (UPS/Fed Ex Delivery Failure) Tuesday July 15, 2008 June 2009 Update: Newer alerts about the same security threat described below are circulating under the header "UPS/FedEx/DHL Virus." These warnings are mostly accurate and should be taken seriously. If you receive messages from any of these parcel delivery companies directing you to open an attached "invoice," simply delete it. Do not open it. The file could contain a virus. http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2008/07/15/ups-virus-warning.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
