Just received this e-mail it sounds pretty dire to me. >:( >:(
How true it is I don't know but worth being aware of :y
PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE you know!
Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!
1.) If you get an e-mail along the lines of 'Osama Bin Laden Captured' or 'Osama Hanged' , don't open the Attachment!!!!
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe , but!mainly in the US and Israel
Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:
2.) You should be alert during the next few days:
Do not open any message with an attached file called 'Invitation' regardless of who sent it.
It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer!!!!
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail ad dress in his/her contact list ,that is why you should 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 e-mail called 'invitation', even though sent by a friend. Do not open it!!! Shut down your computer immediately!!!!
This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever...
This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus...
This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where=2 0ther vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!!

No harm done mate and fair play for trying to warn us all. I tend to google virus warnings now before I post anything ;) :y

Virus warnings are often a much bigger pain than viruses. I think I've only seen about two legitimate (??) viruses in my career (and I've been computing since the 1970s). Warnings, especially telling me what to do? Dozens.
