Invitation FACEBOOK, VIRUS. SNOPES CHECKS OUT

[Loose rivets]

A mate in the UK has just sent this. Haven't had time to investigate, but he's sent a SNOPES link. The prose is a bit purple, but wadda yer think?


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
TRUE............snopes.com: YouTube/Facebook Virus (http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/youtube.asp)

anything that asks you to forward the message to somebody else is fake.

I call BS
