Invitation Virus-real threat or hoax?

sjdomin · 05-Jul-2006, 05:06 PM #1

I recently received an E-Mail from a relative warning about a new virus called "invitation", reportedly the most destructive virus ever.
However, a Google search describes the threat as a hoax.
Anyone have any knowledge of this matter?

Sounds very much like a hoax.

Does it mention the Olympic Torch by any chance?

Yes, "Olympic Torch" was mentioned in the E-mail-reportedly, the virus "burns out" the C drive
