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.

There are a lot of such hoaxes out there but we should always be vigilant about opening emails and make sure you have up to date virus protection.

Thanks Ray.
I don't ever forward these email warnings, as they can often be the spread method themselves, which is why I posted it and not emailed it. But I had not heard of this one so i took it as serious and thought it best to pass on.
Glad it is only a hoax
