Keep an eye out for this one.

Subject: FW: virus warning

I checked with Norton Anti virus and they are gearing up for this virus so I believe this is real. I checked snopescom and this is for real.

Get this sent around to your contacts ASAP...we don't need this spreading around.

READ AS SOON AS POSSIBLE 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' r egardl ess 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.
Here is what you want to look for and NOT OPEN:
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 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.

Hi feralcatlady - you probably just missed it, then. Snopes can be amusing to search sometimes. ;-)
