UPS Virus making the rounds again
UPS Virus making the rounds again
A new version of the UPS virus has landed on my laptop (my fault).
Same old scheme, can't believe I fell for it. Comes as an attachment (mine came as a .rar file) with an email saying your package is on the way.
Open the .rar file and you see an icon (in my case) for a PDF file, except it has the .exe extension on it. That should have set off my alarms right there but it was late and I fell for it hook, line and sinker, game set match.
Think I got it all cleaned but won't know for a couple days......

Re: UPS Virus making the rounds again
I got one titled DHL Corporate Parcel Tracking Information last week with an attached .zip
Luckily, I saw it for what it was and deleted it.
Thanks for the info...I will have to make sure my wife does not open any of these.
