Solve : Be aware of this {just in case}?

Answer» Alert: I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus so I believe this is real. I checked snopes.com and this is for real Get this sent around to your contacts ASAP...we don't need this spreading around.



You should be alerted 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 classif ied by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ev er. 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.



I got this from an email/ friend not sure if this is valid I doubt very much so that this is true . . .

"It is a Virus that opens an Olympic Torch which "burns" the whole hard disc C of your computer".

If Norton had a copy of this then it would be spreading, therefore it would already be a PROBLEM, not wait a couple of days.

"This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept."

Whats this so-called "Zero sector"? Is there even such a thing? And even if there was, there is no 'vital' information stored on the hard drive. They come blank, generally.It appears that email is remarkably similar to this: http://www.hoax-slayer.com/olympic-torch-virus-hoax.html

??good- find*

thanks for disproving the email, I told my friend to quit FORWARDING them to me in the future, THANKS
