If you receive an email saying from a friend INVITATION FACEBOOK, don't open it. You'll be asked to open an Abode thing and once that's done, it will burn out your hard drive C.
Just got news of it so watch out
Unfortunately, most of the 'virus warnings' doing the rounds are hoaxes. Thet just serve to alarm people. As well as UrbanLegands, Snopes (http://www.snopes.com) is also a good one to check them out before panicking folk :)

Now I've learnt how to copy and paste (so easy!) I thought I'd put this on, which was sent to me.
I'm clueless when it comes to this sort of thing but it was sent by a good source.
TRUE: Check it out with the "Snopes" link below.
Subject: URGENT!!!
PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS NOTICE TO YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CONTACTS! In the coming days, you should be aware.....
Do not open any message with an attachment called: Invitation FACEBOOK, 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 you had in your address book .. That's why you should send this message to all your contacts. It is better to receive this email 25 times to receive the virus and open it .. If you receive a mail called: Invitation FACEBOOK, though sent by a friend, do not open it and delete it immediately. It is the worst virus announced by CNN. A new virus has been discovered recently that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.
It is a Trojan Horse that asks you to install an adobe flash plug-in. Once you install it, it's all over. 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 of their function is saved.
SNOPES SAYS THIS IS TRUE............
