There is a new virus that has surfaced since last week. This virus reports that users need to update their PayPal accounts. Do not open this, delete the e-mail as PayPal has not issued this e-mail and the e-mail itself contains a virus.

The actual e-mail reads as follows:
(Found virus WORM_MIMAIL.J in file www.paypal.com.pif)

Dear PayPal member,

We regret to inform you that your account is about to be expired in next five business days. To avoid suspension of your account you have to reactivate it by providing us with your personal information.

To update your personal profile and continue using PayPal services you have to run the attached application to this email. Just run it and follow the instructions.

IMPORTANT! If you ignore this alert, your account will be suspended in next five business days and you will not be able to use PayPal anymore.

Thank you for using PayPal.
