BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. READ AND HEED.

PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE.

E-mails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these e-mails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it.

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 and send this warning to whomever you know.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS.

You should be alert during the next 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 address 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 an e-mail called "Invitation", 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. The virus was discovered by McAfee recently and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the viral information is kept.

SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

If you get an e-mail along the lines of "Osama Bin-Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged", don't open the attachment. .

Honestly thats probably natural selection, anybody who opens
mails that say "make yours bigger" or "I want you" shouldnt be
on the net :) Thanks in advance but had to add that.

We need to start one, title caption will say: DONT OPEN THIS!
If the curious idiot opens it, there monitor blows up and the
thick glass shardes knock them off there chair :o
