Hey! Heads up! Comp virus

I just got an email for a funeral invitation from a funeral home in Florida. It's a big old malware virus. Don't open it! I'm assuming everyone knows someone in Florida. Ugh. Have fun today

Even if you know someone in Florida why would a funeral home be sending out invits and who would really even think of opening it? I would think anyone you are close with would have let you know funeral plans personally.

I know an e-vite to a funeral is odd. It looked legitimate. In my circle, a lot of communication is done with out actually speaking with someone. I'm sure I wasn't the only person to open this. But thanks for the snark.

I agree!! Inviting someone to a funeral through an email is tacky and very impersonal. And if it was legit, why wouldn't it be coming from a family member??

I have gotten several of those from funeral homes recently---I never open that stuff.

Give the OP a break. Of course this is not the norm and we can sit back and say we would never open such a thing. But, in the instant you see something like this, concern (or panic) takes over and we don't think clearly.
