Exclamation New Virus Warning

Be alert during the next few days: Don't open any message with an attached file called "Invitation", regardless of who sent it. It's a virus that opens an Olympic Torch that "burns" the whole hard disk of your computer. This virus will come from someone who has your e-mail address; that's why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts. It's better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus

DON'T open it and shut down your computer immediately . This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it's been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. The virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there's no repair yet for this particular virus. It simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disk, where vital information is kept.
Also:- Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it! This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe. Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know. If you get an email along the lines of "Osama Bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment.

Default Recycled "hoax"

Recycled Hoax: 'Invitation' Virus Warning (From David Emery,
Your Guide to Urban Legends and Folklore. Posted Dec 2006)......

If you receive a dire-sounding alert warning that a new computer virus circulating under the header "Invitation" will, quote, "open an Olympic torch which burns the whole hard disc of your computer," please ignore it. No such virus exists. Formerly known as "A Virtual Card for You," the alert is a rewritten hoax first sighted in 2000. Read more...
