Virus Alerts

This was around a couple years ago but seems to be making a comeback. It's an email claiming to be from UPS (and others) that is not. It claims a package delivery failure and asks the recipient to open the attached waybill, which is the actual viral payload. I've seen it 2 times in my inbox already. Like all other suspicious things you have pop up on the internet ask yourself, "How did they get my email address?" It will look something like the ones below.
