:

Warning READ AS SOON  AS  POSSIBLE/




Get this sent around to your contacts ASAP...we don't need this spreading
around.....


   



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
