A short time ago, I received an email that informed me that something I had supposedly snail mailed could not be delivered because of an inadequate address. The email was addressed to several people (strange if only one of them had mailed something).

Attached to that email was a program called *uspslabel.zip*.

Fortunately, my virus scanner (Norton) caught it, which is why I know about it. Inside that program was a very dangerous information stealer, possibly attached to what normally would be an innocuous and perhaps useful program. I presume that it would have enabled someone to get information on the financial accounts that I log into.

The moral: *Do not open uspslabel.zip if you receive an email to which it is attached. *It is a very dangerous Trojan horse. Delete it.

In fact, any time you receive an email that makes no sense, do not open attachments. Just delete the email with the attachments.

Steve.
