RED ALERT!!!!!
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
mostdestructive 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

AND REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

Who? What?

Oh. MicroSnot.

Well, there ya go; sh!t attracts sh!t.
