Websense Security Labs has reported the problem which begins with a spoofed email message that provides a link to download the executable 'PayPal security tool' file.

Every day a new Paypal spoof.

So that's what was automatically deleted and sent to my trash because of my filters.  I checked my email and it said a message came through but wasn't in my inbox so out of curiosity I checked my deleted folder and what do you know - there was a message claiming to be Paypal.  I selected all and deleted and closed my email program.

Why did I know it was a spoof? Because I don't have that email address registered with Paypal.  I used to up until about a year ago but when I got a new email address I deleted the old email address out so the real Paypal doesn't have that address on file. 

They just never quit.
