Default Bad Virus -- Read Quickly

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 <http://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 a mail 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 to date 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. REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

I love it 'send spam to combat spam'

that might be the worst email ever. like 'hey we are going to tell you about a virus in a spam mail in a spam mail that has a virus in hopes it will cause you to send this email on so we can infect even more people's computers because you were dumb enough to not be able to realize this is a scam.

(go away)
