> UPS email trojan - Warning
Bookmark topic
If you get an email from UPS saying about a parcel that they hold and they want you to confirm the address, delete it. It contains a Zip attachment labelled invoice and if you click on it, it puts a trojan on your computer.
I mention it because both myself and the better half got one each today. This is a recent problem - days apparently.

Plenty of proof there, I think.

No, better still, my wife never opened hers either! And she's a relative computer novice!

A mate of mine got an email like this a couple of days ago, unfortunately he did click on the attachment! It put a trojan and a couple of other nasties on his PC, some of which he's still trying to get rid of!
