NASTY TROJAN

[dickythecook]

I pass this on as I nearly got caught this morning,before I read the warning below.
PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS NOTICE TO YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CONTACTS!


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 an email called: Invitation FACEBOOK, though sent by
a friend, do not open it and delete it immediately. It is the worst
virus announced by CNN. A new virus has been discovered recently 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.

Snopes says this is a hoax - http://www.snopes.com.../virus/invitation.asp

First reported as far back at least as 2006, it rubbish.

I opened an e-mail from a friend this morning,clicked on a link and there was an enticing pic and then the message that I needed to download a later version of adobe flash to play the clip. AVG said the address I was going to was dodgy and said don't do it, so I didn't. So I downloaded the latest version which was more up to date from the official site. I am not that clever with computers so if it is a hoax I humbly apologise.

99.9% of these sorts of mails are false and passing them on generally does nothing but waste peoples time, bandwidth and money. please at least check with a quick google search before becoming a spammer yourself.

Anything that says "PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS NOTICE TO YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CONTACTS!" will always be a hoax. If it was that important it would be on the news
