Dear all, How are you doing? I just got informed that a new very dangerous virus is launched this Sunday 20 may. It is called "Invitation" and may comes from one of your contacts list! Never open this email because it immidiately distruct the 'Zero zone' in your hard disk where vital data are located. This was a CNN news and the virus is classified by Microsoft as the most dangerous virus ever launched. It was discovered by MCafee but no solution to deal with the virus is discovered yet....

Glad to know the alert is fake. Better to be safe than sorry In fact this is my point of view as well. Can you give us the link to the CNN new, please? I received the alert from a friend with no references. Virus Warning hoaxes prey on new internet users ... I can't see how to find new internet users among millions of users in the world.

Hi Nabil, Glad to know the alert is fake. Better to be safe than sorry In fact this is my point of view as well. Agreed in principle. The problem with such hoaxes is that they create unnecessary e-mail traffic, which may divert attention from genuine warnings. Also, some hoaxes prompt you to remove files falsely identified as infected. I can't see how to find new internet users among millions of users in the world . Do you have a suggestion? Check the hoax lists of established antivirus providers before passing on the information. Best regards, Ralf | | | Dinny Greece Local time: 02:58 Italian to Danish + ...

If it contained a virus, I am lucky not to be too 'hungry' for new jobs, others might have clicked on it right away and found themselves in trouble. If it was a real invitat...

If it was a real invitation to bid for a job I think the sender should reconsider his "sender address". ▲ Collapse | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » New very dangerous Virus is launched Trados Studio 2022 Freelance | The leading translation software used by over 270,000 translators.
