UPS e-mail virus
Just a forewarning - I got an e-mail today saying that a parcel was sent to my address by UPS and it had a zip file attached. Norton 360 e-mail scanner detected and deleted a trojan.

Yeah, my dad had the same. He asked me if I was expecting any deliveries. His attachment was a .rar, so I told him under no circumstances try to open it Wink

Same here but I use parcel services quite regularly so it might have caught me out.
