Virus
 
Just received this from a friend, not sure if its authentic, but better safe than sorry

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 than to receive the virus and
open it> > > > If you receive an email called "Invitation FACEBOOK", >
even though it has been sent by a friend, > do not open it and delete
it immediately> > > > CNN said it is a new virus discovered recently
and 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

I know you don't approve of me cutting and pasting from Google Retlaw but think you should see this

Olympic Torch Invitation Virus Hoax

especially this paragraph:

If you receive this hoax message, please do not forward it to others. Virus hoaxes such as this one do nothing more than clutter inboxes and spread misinformation. If you receive a virus warning via email, always take the time to check the veracity of the message on a reputable anti-virus or anti-hoax website.

Here is a link to Snopes with the exact wording saying it is a hoax

It is an ancient 'Law of Rebound', sometimes named karma.

When you chuck the nasty stuff at people, you are (re)bound to get three times as much muck back.

Wiccan Three-Fold Law * Wicca-Spirituality.com

"The Three-Fold Law is pagan Karma.

Karma is simply an acknowledgement that choices have repercussions. Not least of which is the energy generated by the choice.

If you will hurt someone in anger, you generate anger first in yourself. (For an exploration of how this works, see the article onBlack Magic.)

Then you transfer it to someone else . . . and the ripples spread throughout the world. Maybe this is why it's called Three-fold.

But the tricky bit is . . . At each step, your anger hurts you .

Anger is unhealthy - this is well-known in medicine and psychology. Anger is linked with many fatal diseases, like heart attacks and cancer.

Hurting someone else makes you feel bad about yourself, if only on subconscious levels. You know in your hidden heart that you have done wrong, and so you lose respect and trust in yourself.

As you send out anger, making people around you angry, what do you think you are going to encounter later on? Anger! The ripples of your choices always return to you.

In the big picture, the energy of that anger is creating suffering for all beings. After millennia of this energy swamping our planet, we find anger leading quite possibly to our extinction.

The spiritual fact is that if anger is an issue in your life, you magnetically draw more of it towards you. Like attracts like.

Much more than anyone else, we harm ourselves by hurtful thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. Revenge and resentment look rather foolish from that perspective, don't they?

This is the Three-Fold Law in action. "

Even if you aren't a pagan, it sounds right.

No, what he should do is, unplug his computer put it in it's box and send it back to the people he got it from, that will cure many of the problems he seems to generate.

Well Margaret glad you've got a positive attitude? :confused: :D

Well the Christians would say that bad karma or sin started in the Garden of Eden.

From a Darwinian perspective there is no such thing as Karma and some people who have done bad things have got rich out of it. i.e Survival of the Fittest!
