Warning: Virus-Laden Email

Be aware of an email containing malware. Although it's been floating around the intertubes for a couple months, I got it yesterday.

Labeled "Uniform Traffic Ticket," it carries a virus.
State police in New York are warning about a virus-laden email that appears to be a notice of a speeding ticket.

They say the bogus email is likely to have "Uniform Traffic Ticket" in the subject line and an attached zip file described as a ticket from the Department of Motor Vehicles that can be filled out and mailed to a local court.

Opening that attachment can infect the user's computer.
Do not open.
