The UPS Virus

Hello All,

Be on the lookout for this guy the telltale signs are all there.

1. it does not come from a UPS e-mail address
2. it has a bunch of typos
3. they address you as sir/madam rather than your account name
4. it is signed your UPS

Here is a screenshot of it



I must say I am quite impressed by the folks at Brown (UPS)
they had this bulletin out by days end today.

I can't delete this file!!!

You know how sometimes you go online and "by accident" click on that banner that says click here for a free IPOD or something. Then every spyware on the planet descends on to your PC and you spend the next 2 weeks cleaning it up, only to get to that one folder that no matter what you do it just wont delete.

Well we know plenty about it because we usually get the call when this happens and we go out and work on it till we do and it usually take a bunch of work or a reinstall. Just the other day I was working on a machine when I found a jewel of a program so I thought I would share it with you it is called Unlocker you can find it here http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ and it is free but I recommend you donate something because whoever wrote this is brilliant and surely deserves the money.

That's all for now...
