Be warned there is a virus spreading as Fedex parcel. Its a spam and what they do they inform you to check on the page which is downloadable and within no time the malware starts shredding your hard disk. Be warned don't download such a spam message. My laptop is down and any one with a solution can bring it.............

I don't know that there is a viruses inside. But I want to thanks that you inform us about this glitch on yahoo email...
Wish that yahoo need to filter message like those scam email. To prevent someone to be a victim of those bad people...

I knew it! I was wondering how I got an email from fedex when I wasn't expecting a parcel. And another thing, the email I got was weird. For example, my email is hecate_of_mylot@yahoo.com... I checked the recipient of the email and it was addressed to hecate_of_somethingelse@yahoo.com... I made up those email addresses, but it was close enough to my email address. Just wanted to show how weird it was that I received an email that wasn't addressed to my proper email address.

Not only fedex but also UPS and USPS. lol! . Silly malware! I am not expecting from anyone or anything to send me something so it's obvious that this thing is a form of spamming. I delete this things right away but it pisses me off to receive this kind of email from 3 to 5 a day! grr!

I often have these mails, I have once opened it. And yes, I noticed my computer slowed down. I scanned my computer and cleaned it. Now it's now back to the normal speed. Good thing i have a great anti virus.
I just happened to open that mail, because I was expecting a package from my friend in Canada, and he keeps asking me if I get what he sent me. And up to now it still not here. But I don't open anything with Fedex mails or UPS United Parcel something... They're spam and really virus. Thanks for this advice. Now It's confirmed.

Thanks Samkat for the share. Feel bad that your laptop has been affected with this but have to give credit to you for making other people aware and not falling into the trap.
Regarding a solution, as for now I dont have any of hand. However I have a friends who deals a lot into computers and will check with him if he is aware of a virus like this and also a solution if any.
I hope you had taken a back up of all your files and also try and get things back to normal as soon as possible..Thanks again..
