I was at a customers House after dinner last night working on her home PC - and she mentioned the same thing from DHL -- They deal with DHL every day in their business, she didn't open it - BUT her AVG also didn't detect any virus either - she rang DHL, and they have a messages on their answer Phone regarding this email.

856640 2010-02-09 23:44:00 Yeah I get the DHL, UPS, USPS, FedEx etc ones all the time. First time I have seen one about illegal downloading though. Guess they have to change it from time to time when people become aware of the old scam Agent_24 (57)
856641 2010-02-10 01:30:00 The email from the ICS monitoring team has been around before though the virus itself may have been updated, wouldn't be a day goes past that I don't get at least a couple of the DHL, Western Union or other virus messages coming by, the ICS one pops up less often though I have had it now for several days running, seems to come about 12 hours between each message.
