Default OT virus notice

.....FYI........I received the following from 'puter pro friend


///////////////////////////////////////////

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 un-able 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 real:
