Title: Trojan warning: “United Parcel Service notification”
Post by: sorveltaja on March 24, 2011, 02:28:02 AM

Tomorrow I got that 'notification' in my email.

It contains text:
------------------
Dear customer.

The parcel was sent your home address.
And it will arrive within 7 business day.

More information and the tracking number are attached in document below.

Thank you.
© 1994-2011 United Parcel Service of America, Inc.
---------------------------------------
Also it contains the file 'UPS notify.exe', that installs a trojan, if opened.

I got that one this AM.  Looked suspicious so I deleted it.  Thanks for the heads up.

I got a few of those too. Anything with any kind of attachment from an unknown sender tends to go straight in the bin, if it wasn't already flagged as SPAM. I just wish viruses of the physical variety were as easy to avoid as the computer version  :( :sneeze: :cough:
