DANGEROUS E-MAIL

I have recently received a caution regarding an e-mail which has been sent primarily to computers in the United States and Israel:



SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW







TWO SUBJECT LINES TO BEWARE OF:




I just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL. ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR FICTION AND IT'S on their site also.


PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE


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.





This virus will be rece ived 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 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
