Dont know if it's true or how old it is but it's cost you nothing to read it

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," 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.

I'll move this to the computer bytes section.

But common sense is protection, never open an unknown e-mail and never allow things on your firewall unless its known to you.
And i never allow activex contol Smile
