UPS Virus Warning

It's come to our attention that there is a new virus doing the rounds...

The virus is in the guise of a UPS Parcel Tracking email which contains a zip containing an executable file pretending to be the invoice.

It has the subject "[NO-REPLY] UPS Tracking Number 1936082569" or similar and contains the text:

"Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on XXX the XXX in time because the recipient’s address is not correct.

Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office

Your UPS"

Please delete this mail on arrival until our systems are updated to remove this automatically.

We have been using Mediademon for some time now, for our web hosting and various software projects, and they have been first class - I would recommend them. I have been particularly impressed with the prompt manner that they have dealt with any problems or queries that we have had - they have provided consistently sound, reliable advice and there's been nothing yet that they haven't been able to sort out for us - they have been an excellent choice.
