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 message25 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 norepair yet for this kind of virus.

This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the
vital information is kept.

Nyxem Worm (Virus)

Antivirus vendors are warning of a rapidly-spreading worm that is carrying a potentially destructive set of instructions. The Nyxem worm--also nicknamed the Kama Sutra worm--is programmed to overwrite all of the files on computers it infects on February 3, says Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure.

F-Secure researchers found the worm truncates files to 20 bytes and causes an error message when one is opened, he says.

"We are expecting to see problems in two weeks' time," Hypponen says.

The worm appears to be programmed to overwrite all files on the third day of every month, Hypponen says. So far, there's no indication where Nyxem originated.

While most antivirus vendors have issued updates for their software, Nyxem is spreading quickly, and its creators have posted a counter on a Web site that records new infections. According to F-Secure's security blog, the counter was showing around 510,000 infections as of Sunday night.

Nyxem infections may be rising because it is taking advantage of computers that have already had their antivirus software disabled by some other virus such as Bagle, Hypponen says.

Dated Technique

The worm, which is spread through e-mail, uses a dated technique to entice users by promising pornography, says Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant, at Sophos. Nyxem lacks the sophistication of recent Trojan horse-style viruses that are more targeted and less prevalent in order to evade detection, Cluley says.

Nonetheless, users appear to still be clicking, and the worm was accounting for about 35 percent of virus traffic as of Monday morning, he says.

"It's a bit of a throwback to an old trick," Cluley says.

The worm harvests e-mail addresses and then sends itself out again. The e-mail subject line may contain text that says "Miss Lebanon 2006" or "School girl fantasies gone bad," according to Sophos.

A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered
yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed.
This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital
information for its functioning are stored.

This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the
title:
"A Card for You".

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so
that the user has to reboot . When the ctrl+alt+delkeys or the reset
button are pressed, the virus destroy! s Sector Zero, thus permanently
destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus
caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN.

This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.
So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for You. " As soon
as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender !!!
