I unzipped the file and then tried to open the word doc.Guess I gave myself a virus...
Computer began shutting down every few minuts and when it bebooted I had no Norton to protect me.I am still unable to open Norton programs and am searching for a way to find the leftover file that created the problem.Have deleated both the zip and exe filesbut still no exe on norton. any suggestions besides paying Norton to remove it?

Do not unzip or open this message. You will be cleaning up for weeks
Here's the same email I received with different tracking and sender...but appears very legit so VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE UNSUSPECTING...
UPS Tracking Number 9123989846
From: "United Parcel Service" or sender as "jpd@bochtoyota.com"
bochtoyota.com is real but the attachment appears to be the same as yours UPS_INVOICE_187271.zip and the zipped file enclosed is a .exe application, which is the only reason why I didn't open it.
I found that a simple System Restore fixed the problem.
Yes, this is definitly a virus. Infact it installs a self-restoring trogan virus, as well as 32+ spyware programs. Had a user here in the office just download it, and we are dealing with it now. Completely unhooked the infected computer from the network while we investigate and determine our next course of action.
