Just warning you guys about this Virus/Scam Email...

The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex/DHL Delivery Failure. You will 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.

Please read this Snopes webpage!

Snopes confirms that it is real.

Yeah, I get one of those every day or so. The best part is, that DHL doesn't even exist anymore. They closed the doors on December 31, 2008
