Serious Virus Alert!!!!
 
:eek: Subject: serious virus alert, No Joke



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 file 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.


< /SPAN>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

99% of those emails are fakes, best way to find out is go somewhere like [url]www.symantec.com[/url] or [url]www.eset.com[/url]
If theres a new destructive virus out there, it will be on there virus alert page.
