PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS NOTICE TO YOUR 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 that burns the whole
hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone
you had 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 E-MAIL called: " Invitation FACEBOOK" , though
sent by a friend, do not open it and 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.
