Status : HOAX
In circulation since at least 2000; no such "incurable virus" exists, has been identified by McAfee, on reported on by CNN.
New Virus
PLEASE READ IT & FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!
I checked with Norton Antivirus and they are gearing up for this virus. I checked snopes.com and this is for real.
Get this sent around to your contacts ASAP...we don't need this spreading around.
READ AS SOON AS POSSIBLE 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. [
