NEW VIRUS ALERT
« on: April 09, 2007, 18:42:34 »
Subject: Fw: Virus Alert

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:

                  You should be alert during the next days:

Do not open any message with an attached filed called "Invitation" regardless of who sent it, It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which "burns" the whole hard disc C of your computer.


                  This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it.

                  If you receive a mail called "invitation", though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most  destructive virus ever.

                  This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept

SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW ,

COPY THIS E-MAIL AND SEND! IT TO YOUR FRIENDS

AND REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF    US
All you do and all you see is all your life will ever be

Sorry ktl but this seems like a hoax.

Key invitation virus into google.

The wording seems exactly the same as one that was mentioned by McAfee in 2000
