COMPUTER VIRUS WARNING

The newest virus circulating is the "UPS/FedEx Delivery Failure". You will receive an email from UPS or FedEx Packet Service along with a packet number.

NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line.

It will say that they were un-able 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, and your friends online & off.

Thanks for the warning!  I'm actually expecting something by FedEx, so probably would have thought it was for real.
