today I got a mail in my junk box but as I check all of my mails I opened that mail and found that the mail was from <manager@dhl-usa.com>

We all know about dhl services and I found that the website is also genuine. Here is the mail I got from them

when I downloaded the attached doc and scanned with my AVG free. It found two virus infection :(. I am wondering if there is a real parcel for me and still can't open the attachment as afraid of virus :(

does anyone else got the same? is it a spam?
 
Dude thats spam, its a pretty generic email, your real name or address is not listed.

They prob just spoofed the sender
 
I have got another, but didnt open the attachment.

Please be advised that if you received an email suggesting that DHL is attempting to deliver a package and asking that you open the email attachment in order to affect delivery, the email is fraudulent, contains a virus, and the package does not exist. Please do not open the attachment. This is due to the Infostealer.Banker.C virus, which has been confirmed to be a real virus attached to a fraudulent email.

This virus is not coming from DHL ? the authors of the malicious email virus are only using the DHL name in their message to grab user's attention. We apologize for any inconvenience.
