Just received this warning via email regarding a new virus. I have no idea of it's validity.
Subject: RE: Suspicious Emails
All,
Please take note of the following information with regards to suspicious emails
You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with
an attachment entitled 'Invitation,' or 'Merry Christmas' regardless of who
sent it to you. It is a virus which 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. 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.
