I received an email today from a well meaning family member......contents of the email is posted below. The basic signs of this being a hoax were very apparent...the capitalization of PLEASE FORWARD and SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

I did a quick a check and found that this is just a rehashing of an old hoax...Virtual Card for You.

Here is the main body of the message:

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
that "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. IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US.

So if you receive an email like this, Please just delete it don't forward it on to anyone.
