a computer virus it is on snope.com - beware

February 9, 2008

- MAKE SURE YOU READ! This TRULY looks like trouble. THE NAME IS CLOSE TO

AN EARLIER HOAX SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

I got this from a friend who checked it out and said the following:

I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus!

I checked snopes.com , and it is for real!!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS! ASAP.

You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with

an attachment entitled 'Invitation " OR ONE CALLED " POSTCARD, " regardless of

who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens an Olympic Torch OR A

POSTCARD IMAGE, 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 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.

COPY THIS E-MAIL, AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO

THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US.
