Virus: Fake UPS Invoice e-mail
June 29th, 2010

CCEX would like to bring to your attention a virus that had been spreading via e-mail the last couple of days.  The e-mail appears to be an invoice from UPS.  Attached is a zip file containing a dangerous virus and rook kit.  If you receive this e-mail, delete it immediately.  This virus has been around since 2008, but seems to be significantly more aggressive this week.
 

Below is an example of the fake message:
