Hi List

I have received the following information from our IT department at work, so
I thought I would pass it on to you all, I hope you don't mind.


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," even if it is sent by a friend,
do not open it, 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.

COPY AND SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, REMEMBER PREVENTION IS
BETTER THAN CURE!!
