[BITList] - NEW VIRUS ALERT

[Ronald Thomas]

This has apparently been checked with Snopes and presumed ,by me, to be  a genuine threat
  











        Subject: FW: URGENT - PLEASE CIRCULATE TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY - NEW VIRUS ALERT

          

              PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS NOTICE TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY ON YOUR CONTACT LIST

              In the coming days, you should be aware.

              Do not open any message with an attachment called:

              "Invitation FACEBOOK"

              Regardless of who sent it

              It is a virus that opens an Olympic torch and burns the whole hard
              disc C of your computer

              This virus will be received from someone you have in your address book


              That's why you should send this message to all your contacts. It is
              better to receive this email 25 times than to receive the virus and
              open it

              If you receive email called: "Invitation FACEBOOK", though sent by a friend,

              do not open but delete it immediately

              CNN said it is a new virus discovered recently and that has been
              classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever

              It is a Trojan Horse that asks you to install an adobe flash plug-in.
              Once you install it, it's all over. 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 of their function is saved



              THE INFORMATION HAS BEEN CHECKED WITH SNOPES
