FYI, my husband received this email from his company security-
A new email virus is spreading through the Internet that looks like an
official message from PayPal, asking you to update your records or your
account will be closed.
This is a false alert. DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!
The email message itself is not harmful, but do not launch, detach, or run
the attached file. It is a virus that will infect your system and may
cause problems on our networks.
If you receive a message that says it is "Important" from PayPal, delete
it immediately!

My husband received that email through his company's security system. Apparently they are alerted of viruses ahead of time, and they email all of their employees to warn them of it so that they don't open those emails and spread a virus throughout their company's system.
