New virus

[Wilky 0]

Just recieved the following email from our IT Dept. at work :-

 

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG ALL YOUR CONTACTS:

 

Be alert during the next few days: Don't open any message with an

attached file called "Invitation", regardless of who sent it. It's a

virus that opens an Olympic Torch that "burns" the whole hard disk of

your computer. This virus will come from someone who has your e-mail

address; that's why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts.

It's better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus

 

DON'T open it, just delete the whole message immediately .. This is the

worst virus announced by CNN, it's been classified by Microsoft as the

most destructive virus ever. The virus was discovered by McAfee

yesterday, and there's no repair yet for this particular virus. It

simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disk, where vital

information is kept.

 

Also:- Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent

and the moment you open these emails your computer will crash and you

will not be able to fix it! This e-mail is being distributed through

countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel. Don't be

inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know. If you get an

email along the lines of "Osama Bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged"

don't open the attachment.

 

Please remember, if you are not at all sure where an email has come from, never open it, its always better to delete it.

 

Thanks to Roger for alerting us all.

 

Regards

 

Lloyd
