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 and shut down your computer 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.

Some harsh words man

Take no notice mate theres a lot of ********* on here.

luke_ufc

I cant believe some of the people on here. You try and do something you thinks right and you just get insulted. I had no idea you could check these things out first.

What a pleasant bunch. I thought the idea of forums was to help each other out. I hope not all scooby drivers are like you lot.

99% of virus warnings sent via e-mail are hoaxes.


The other 1% is some Nigerian king who wishes to give you £2,000,000 from his dead 2nd uncle's estate

But i have had the email about the virus about 50 times now and not bothered to check it out. but thanks for the warning luke
