We noticed a number of emails with "Fedex tracking number" in the subject. This type of email was also noticed by a contact so we felt it appropriate to let others know.
The earlier UPS tracking email was confirmed as a malicious email and as a result of our submission, the virus has now been used to update one of the anti-virus companies software package.
We don't normally receive these emails as our software OzEfilter, enables us to delete these emails at the mail server safely away from our computer. The next email we receive having the subject "Fedex tracking number" we will test and let others know what we find out.
For those interested in OzEfilter, a time limited free version is available.

We have now tested the Fedex attachment with our anti-virus software and it is not currently detected as malware. Since the UPS malware was also not detected by this anti-virus software, and our submission to another anti-virus software maker resulted in them updating their anti-virus package, we suggest being extremely careful with attachments.
