There is a new virus called "Olympic Torch" if you recieve and E-Mail with the subject as 'Invantation' DO NOT open it at any costs. Even if it's from a friend. Delete the message from your Inbox and Trash Can if it goes there. Once it's deleted, turn off your computer. If you do open it, the virus called "Olympic Torch" will "burn" your C Drive (Hard Drive) It is voted the worst virus ever by CNN. Microsoft has not found a way to control or rid of the virus. Keep a look out!

I only have 3 emails but there only from my friend!

None with the ''Ivasion''

 
It's a bad virus. I got an E-Mail about it. I'll copy and paste it:

Subject: Read- VIRUS ALERT!

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' regardless of who sent it, It

is a virus that opens an "Olympic Torch" which 'burns' the whole

hard disc C of your computerThis 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

ZeroSector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is

kept. SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, COPY THIS E-MAIL AND

SEND! IT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU

WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

After reading this I was a little suspicious.. so I googled "Olympic Torch Virus Hoax". Here is a link to the results I got... It's not a real virus, just a chainletter that was intended to scare you. Your intentions were good, wildcat, but it's nothing to worry about.
