Hi ,
Please forward this genuine warning among family, friends and contacts.

You should be alert during the next few days.

DO NOT OPEN ANY MESSAGE with an attached file called "INVITATION" REGARDLESS OF WHO SENDS 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 email address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this email to your contacts. It is better to receive this email ten times than to receive the virus and open it.

If you receive an email called "Invitation", sent by a friend/contact DO NOT OPEN IT - SHUT 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 ysterday 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.
