Olympic Torch Hoax

Filed in archive by randy on February 27, 2006

My Dad recently got the following email (excerpt only).
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. ...

While the Invitation virus is a hoax, the message is likely a good one. If you don't know an attachment isn't a virus, then it's better to be safe than sorry.
  • Don't send images as attachments, get a Flickr account and send them with Flickr.
  • Don't send videos as attachments, get a YouTube account and send them with YouTube.
  • If someone sends you images as attachments, then tell them about Flickr.
  • If someone send you videos as attachments, then tell them about YouTube.
You are either overly cautious or prone to get viruses.
