Do you have a Pay Pal account?

I saw Katz post in the weird email thread:

We got the Pay Pal one today, but I didn't open it. and I remembered something we got from our IT Dept yesterday....

A new virus will try to make you believe that your PayPal account is expiring. If you follow the instructions in the infected Email you will release your account information to the virus creators!

See the attached links for more information on this particular virus:

Good thing you deleted that email Katz! I bet that's what it was.

I think I got the email too, and since I really use my PayPal account I also deleted. Thanks for posting about the virus Kimmy!
