If you use any type of email client that isn’t web based, i.e. Outlook or Thunderbird, it’s especially important to have some sort of decent anti-virus software scanning your emails.

I opened it. The zip file was corrupted, so I couldn’t open that thank God I am scanning my system right now with a good virus protector, and usually it catches a virus in an e-mail before I even opened it. So I’m wondering if it is a virus. Also, one of the attachments that was in it, was a void death certificate of my aunt, who passed away a year ago. And that why I’m wondering if it was a virus.

This one had upsinvoice_8000073.zip attached although my antivirus software didn’t detect anything. Right now I’m scanning my computer with different software just in case.
