A friend just sent this to me. And I know that there are a lot of naive computer users out there who don't know how to protect themselves. Take heed.
I never send out things like this without checking their veracity first. Not a new virus, but one that has been use 'oer and o'er. And this is the time of year for a repeat. This is for real. Be wise, beware.
Please: READ THIS AND PASS IT ALONG.

This is worth passing along. With the holidays coming up, this could be a real problem.
The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex/USPS Delivery Failure.
You will receive an e-mail from UPS, Fed Ex, or USPS 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.
Snopes confirms that it is real.
