Snopes.com Updated February 18 which may become more common with the
Olympics getting closer.

This
is a real virus!
Get
this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.
PLEASE
FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!
You
should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an
attachment entitled 'Invitation' OR ONE CALLED 'POSTCARD,'
regardless
of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens an Olympic Torch OR A
POSTCARD IMAGE, 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. This
is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to all your
contacts. It is
better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open
it.
If you
receive a mail called 'Invitation' even though sent to you by a friend, do
not open it. Shut down your computer immediately.
