tantip · Thu Aug 03, 2006 10:34 am Virus WARNING, Everyone Read!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG ALL YOUR CONTACTS:

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, but mainly in the USand Israel. 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.

According to UrbanLegends.com :

This threat is not real. According to McAfee.com, it is a slightly revised version of a virus hoax circulating since 2000, known as "A Virtual Card for You" or "Destroys Sector Zero."

Please note that although many of the virus warnings passed around via forwarded email are bogus, there are thousands of actual computer viruses and Internet worms that constitute a real security threat to personal computers and networks worldwide. Your best protection against them is regularly updated antivirus software.
