I got this in my email, snopes confirms a virus:

It has an image telling me that they could not deliver a package I sent 10/27, and to download, print my label and take to nearest post office.

I've seen that one many times. It's also good to forward

the info to UPS so they know it's going on.

Re:UPS VIRUS ALERT!!

She wrote USPS. I got one from UPS and was expecting packages so almost opened it. Also another from my bank which I never open. If my bank every really needs to advise me, they better call.

Re: Re:UPS VIRUS ALERT!!

What I have learned is ALWAYS go to the source. If the bank sends you something, log onto your bank directly and look at messages, same with paypal. NEVER open or click on links in strange emails. I rarely mail anything out, and when I am expecting, I usually get a tracking number and look at that from the sender. Just be alert.
