    Beware of New Virus

    I just received an "@ups.com" email that sounded very official. It asked me to open an attachment because my package was lost in the mail. Well I am expecting a package so I did, and It infected my computer with a nasty Trojan. Just be careful guys

    there are new trojans like this made every day, this isn't really news, same old computer-safety guidelines still apply.

    Never open unknown attachments from 'official' emails. You should have checked the official site to confirm the email address before opening anything.

    You, sir must be stupid. Why would UPS need to send you an attachment? Why not just say that your box was lost?

    Yeah, people are trying new things everyday.

    In the last week i've received 3 emails saying i've one a million pounds or something, and they need all of my details "For confirmation."

    I'm not saying your an idiot, but these emails come by every day, don't click them!

    Yeah, you will never receive an attachment from a company, unless you talked to them beforehand and you made arrangements for it to be sent.
