Guys , One to watch out for is a Mail from An Post /DHL or any other courier firm telling you there is a delivery for you which could not be delivered as you were out and is ready for collection ..

They attach details of the delivery which contains nothing but a very serious Trojan virus .. I got caught with this as i was expecting a delivery from CD WOW the very same day so i didn't suspect anything odd ..

I was working from home and by the time i drove to work to get it looked at (20 mins) It made its way through 16 programs on my laptop destroying them . It took the IT dept 24 hrs to stop this thing .. Im working for IBM so have every anti virus you can think of on this laptop ..

Be very aware ... Cheers John

I got a similar email a few days ago.

I wrote it off as a phishing scam, my only DHL order arrived a few weeks ago (After a lot of trouble with a horrible seller).

The boxes arrived today......
