    Ive just recieved an email about this virus. Apparantly it was only discovered 'yesterday' by McAfee so i think it might be a spoof. Who knows. I wont be opening any emails titled 'invitation' anyway.

    The "Olympic torch" is default icon for Delphi programs (if I remember correctly). So it could be just a quick program written by some dork that runs FORMAT C: or DEL *.*

    One virus that uses this icon is NetBus trojan horse.
