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! If you get an email 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:
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.
If you receive a mail called "invitation", though sent by a friend, do not open it and 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 the vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
Well, ...
1. Regarding "Osama Bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged", snopes.com states that it is “real, but outdated... [It is] easily detected and removed with updated virus protection software, and neither Osama message is circulating widely or poses much of a threat to PC users any more.”
2. Regarding “Invitation” and ”Olympic Torch” (from 2006), snopes.com states that it is a HOAX and it was NOT reported on CNN.
We all need to be on our guard – with updated virus protection software – but let’s not be afraid of everything. Cheers!
