GPWizard New Virus Alert

[Wizzo]

You should be alert during the next days:

Do not open any message with an attached filed called "Invitation" regardless 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.

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.

You have been warned.

Believe it or not this E-Mail has circled the world for a couple of years now!  Personally, I have received it over 30 times in the past 2.5 years.  As always people, exercise caution with your e-mail, only open items you expect, even from friends.  If you need to send an attachment send a text only e-mail first detailing what you will send and what it is called.  Many e-mail viruses, once active, migrate to your address book and replicate to all addresses in it, therefore all your contacts will receive an    e-mail from you, it looks friendly, but of course it's not.

My information comes from experience.  I used to be a systems administrator for an oil shale research company.

This kind of thing has been a pain in the butt for years. One of them got into the corp. offices of one of our major clients a while back and caused one hell of a mess.

I can't help but wonder how much money these ***holes could make in the industry if they used their talent and creativity to write useful software. What is their problem?

That's what bugs me[no pun intended]when they catch them
all they do is slap em on the wrist after causing millions or
billions dollars of damage.
