I recieved an email from India regarding a parcel delivery.Like a mug I opened it.It had the above virus in it.
I found a deep clean scan free fron Nortons it fixed it up.Later that night I recieved a call from a guy named Cody with a strong Indian accent telling me he was from Microsoft and I had a virus.He wanted my credit card details so he could clean my PC on line. I told him to &$#@* off and hung up.
So be aware.

Hi Frank, Yes, I've had these too on a regular basis for at least a year. Fortunately they come into my Yahoo account which has always automatically put them into the spam bin, so I'm suspicious of them right form the start and check whether I'm expecting something, and if not (so far 100%) just delete them. As I recall they all purport to be from UPS. I did have one that I rejected recently from China that turned out to be some software I'd ordered from the UK via ebay. The vendor was hopping mad that I'd rejected it, but as I'd already told him I didn't want to pay import duty, which was due, ebay/paypal refunded my payment. It was for a copy of MS Office, and it made me go to Open Office instead. Just as good for what I wanted and FREE!!!!!!!  JohnG. |

I've recently had some experience of this virus, about 10 days ago, not on my PC but my boyfriends at his work place, he opened an email from US parcel services, thinking it was a delivery notice about something I had orderered for him on Amazon, it came into his yahoo account no virus warning came up, so he got the virus, I could not clear it with AVG so he had to get someone in and it was £60.00  so an expensive mistake, I wish I'd known about the Norton thing  Jacqui |

So far it has been safe to use with AVG and COMODO anti virus .
