Virus Alert
Just received this email
Hi All, 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 it is for real. Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP. PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS! You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attachment Entitled "Invitation," regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which 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. This is the reason why you need to 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 an email called "Invitation," even though sent to you 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. SEND THIS E- MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! |

Anything that has "send it to all your frineds" attached to it is a hoax. Virus programmers aim to make it big, but they at least have some programming skills. These chain mail letters are form people with absolutely no skills who will never mount anything in life and starting this crap on myspace is the most they will ever achieve. Break the chain. If it has "send it to all your frineds" somewhere in the body, it's a hoax.
