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......

:wallbash:

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.

Got the FedEx version of this virus today sent to my spam account. I was a little smarter this time around.
