The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex/USPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an e-mail from UPS, Fed Ex, or USPS 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 label copy attached.

DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!

Thanks Mar. I just received a bogus email today

=Support (sender)
=Your Amazon.com Order (2 letters preceding 7 numbers) (title)

I checked my Amazon account for my most recent orders just for the heck of it. I also placed the letters and numbers in the search box and nothing.

I am SO not going to open the email!!
