Default A new virus?

My dad just forwarded this to my e-mail recently. It came from the company he works with. I'm not sure if this is legit, but we should be careful when checking our e-mails just in case.

Quote:
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG ALL YOUR CONTACTS:


Be alert during the next few days or from now on: Don't open any message
with an attached file called "Invitation", regardless of who sent it. It's
a
virus that opens an Olympic Torch that "burns" the whole hard disk of
your computer. This virus will come from someone who has your e-mail
address; that's why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts.
It's better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus.

DON'T open it and shut down your computer immediately... This is the
worst virus announced by CNN, it's been classified by Microsoft as the
most destructive virus ever. The virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday,
and there's no repair yet for this particular virus. It simply destroys
the Zero Sector of the Hard Disk, where vital information is kept.

Also:- Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and
the moment you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not
be able to fix it! This e-mail is being distributed through countries
around the globe, but mainly in the USand Israel. Don't be inconsiderate;
send this warning to whomever you know. If you get an email along the
lines of "Osama Bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the
attachment.

SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
