Do Not open any message with an attached file 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 an e-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 and 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, and remember; if you send it to them you will benefit all of us.

I have written the notice just as it was e-mailed to me.

I love the site Snopes.com, it gives you info on all sorts of e-mail myths and truths.

I usually always check things out there before forwarding. Of course, the one time I didn't, it was...a hoax.

Not to worry, I did the same thing last month re: the sun and mercury...We have all been there! smileys/smile.gif
