A virus is going around via e-mail from FedEx and UPS, stating a failure to deliver a package to you. It prompts you to print an invoice. If you proceed, the virus gets launched.

From the UPS website:
Quote :
" We have become aware of a fraudulent e-mail being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the reader to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. The reader is advised to open an attachment reportedly containing a waybill for the shipment to be picked up.

This email attachment contains a virus. We recommend that you do not open the attachment, but delete the email immediately. UPS may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. "
