είναι κάποιος που είναι......
«πειρατής»
στον υπολογιστή σου και εάν κάποια από επαφές σου τον «αρπάξει» θα πληγείς και εσύ. Είναι επείγον και ο ιός κυκλοφορεί ήδη.
Η επιβεβαίωση αυτής της πληροφορίας έχει ήδη ανακοινωθεί από το γαλλικό κανάλιEUROPE 1.
Τις προσεχείς ημέρες πρέπει να προσέξεις να μην ανοίξεις κανένα μήνυμα που ονομάζεταιl'Invitation (πρόσκληση), ή τι θέλει η φωτογραφία σου σ΄αυτό το site?Όποιος κι' αν σας το έχει στείλει!!!
Είναι ένας ιός που ανοίγει μια ολυμπιακή δάδα και καταστρέφει το σκληρό δίσκο τουPC.
Αυτός ο ιός θα σας σταλεί από κάποιον που έχετε στις επαφές σας , γι αυτό πρέπει οπωσδήποτε να στείλετε αυτό το e-mailσε όλους.
Λοιπόν, αν δεχτείς ένα μήνυμα με όνομα 'invitation' (πρόσκληση) ΚΥΡΙΩΣ ΜΗΝ ΤΟ ΑΝΟΙΞΕΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΣΒΗΣΕ ΑΜΕΣΩΣ ΤΟ PCΣΟΥ.
Είναι ο χειρότερος ιός που έχει ποτέ ανακοινώσει το CNNκαι έχει καταταχθεί από τη Microsoft ως ο ιός ο πιο καταστροφικός που έχει παρουσιαστεί μέχρι σήμερα!
Αυτός ο ιός ανακαλύφθηκε χτες (?) το απόγευμα από τηνMCAfee και δεν έχει βρεθεί ακόμα λύση.
Καταστρέφει

Olympic Torch Invitation Virus Hoax

Summary:
Message claims that an email with an attached file called "Invitation" contains a virus that will open an Olympic Torch that destroys the computer's hard drive (Full commentary below.)



Status:
False

Update:
A new version of the hoax email falsely claims that the information in the message has been verified by Hoax-Slayer.com and Snopes.com (details below).

Update:
February 2008 - Yet another version claims that an email with an attachment entitled "POSTCARD" will destroy the hard drive of the infected computer. (Read an article about the Postcard Image Virus Hoax)

Example:(Submitted, February 2006) WARNING

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. 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





Commentary:
This "warning" message claims that an email with an attached file named "Invitation" contains a virus that will destroy the hard drive of the infected computer. According to the message, the attachment opens an "Olympic Torch, which "burns" the whole hard disc C of your computer". However, the claims in the message are untrue. The message is simply a rehashed version of the long running Virtual Card for You virus hoax (see example below) and should not be taken seriously.

An examination of the two messages reveals that they share very similar wording and attempt to perpetrate the same falsehoods. Both hoaxes claim that the information has been announced by CNN, which is untrue. There is nothing on the CNN website about a virus like the one described in the message. Both also claim that the virus has been classified by Microsoft as "the most destructive virus ever" and that the virus "destroys the Zero Sector" of the infected hard drive. These claims are unfounded.

There is no mention of such a virus on any of the major anti-virus company websites other than articles debunking the "warning". McAfee, the company named in the message, dismisses the warning as a hoax.

If you receive this hoax message, please do not forward it to others. Virus hoaxes such as this one do nothing more than clutter inboxes and spread misinformation. If you receive a virus warning via email, always take the time to check the veracity of the message on a reputable anti-virus or anti-hoax website.

In March 2007, I began receiving examples of the hoax that had the following tacked to the top of the message:

I checked snopes.com and this is for real..

And also checked on Hoax-Slayer.com

And found that this is a real virus.

Apparently, someone has tried to add some legitimacy to the hoax by pretending that he or she has checked the information on this site as well as Snopes.com and found that its was true. However, the only information about the "invitation" virus on Hoax-Slayer.com is the article you are currently reading and other articles that clearly identify it as a hoax. Moreover, urban legend site Snopes.com also classifies the message as a hoax.

This tactic is one that is quite commonly used by pranksters. Just because a message claims that information has been verified on a hoax or virus information site does not mean that it is true. Always check such claims for yourself before forwarding the message.


Με δύο λόγια, καντε ένα google σε ότι σας προβληματίζει πριν το στέλνετε από εδώ και από εκεί...
