similar scam sends e mail from a wedding planner with the thread title wedding invitation.

You'd think that would be better bait than a funeral.

No, it makes perfect sense. You get an email from a funeral home you never heard of, telling you that a close friend has died. In order to find out which friend and when and where the service will be held, you have to open the zip file. Simple.

I want a virus program that prevents me from doing those stupid things. I also want a program that keeps me from making stupid purchases - and one that keeps me from wasting my time watching stupid shows on TV. :D


How about one that keeps me from reading some of the threads on UHH?

Yeah, email wedding invitations only go out to the bride and groom's "closest friends". After all, weddings are expensive; no point in sending all those postal mail invitations. Perhaps when you get to the wedding, you'll have to scan the QR code from your smartphone? It's coming... I know. In the meantime, until it's official, you might want to hold off on that file download. :-)
