    Default virus alert

    I got this from afriend in my email, just in case don't open if it says"INVItATION"



    >> Subject: Warning READ AS SOON AS POSSIBLE/
    Get this sent around to your contacts
    >>>ASAP...we don't need
    this spreading around......
    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 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 the 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.
