Doesn't matter dude. If norton or McAfee don't have a way to protect you against it the virus can still infect your computer as even though you seem to be viewing your emails online, they are infact downloaded to your pc...Papi Chulo said:I am safe as I only use webmail!
I saw one like that a year or more ago. Part of the problem is that this little creature creates a new file, then modifies the registry to point to the new file. Here's how I fixed it:assoholic said:I have a virus that has installed itself as my default window when I sign on.
Even though I change it, it changes back.
Any one know the besy way to get rid of it ?
If you go to the Trend Micro site http://www.trendmicro.com/en/home/us/personal.htm and type 'invitation' into the search panel, you'll find that this particular item is one of about 16,000 hoaxes that are spread by email. One of the objectives of a hoax is to get everybody emailing all their friends about it and clog the mail servers. Read all about it.GlavaMan said:If you receive a mail called "invitation", though sent by a friend, do not
