With Christmas fast approaching... watch out for this... be alert..
The newest virus circulating is the UPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line. 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 indeed real:

*Thanks, Vince!
This is indeed a virus! I read industry magazinews - - also loo it up on th Symantec threats website or McAfee, Snopes is not a virus checking program and no information on snopes does NOT mean it is not a virus - it means they have n info on it. Clearly not the same thing.
