Virus/Spam Warning!!

If you get an email that appears to be from UPS saying that they have an undeliverable package. DO NOT open the attachment. It is a virus that retrieves info from your computer. I have Malware running as I type this, so far it has found 10 files.

It is a very ligitamate appearing email.

This post checks out factually on all points.

Also noticed that you and Dan Quayle spell 'legitimate' the same way.

Well played, JB.

I shall withdraw, regroup and seek vulnerabilities elsewhere.

Yow! That's a bunch. I wonder if any anti-malware programs know how to block it?

Tried to open it on my smartphone a few weeks ago. Thankfully the phone didnt recognize the file type, and wouldn't open it.
