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 ..

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 filed 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 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.

If you are apologizing for doing this, then you know it isn't right.

Out of courtesy, please don't do it in the first place. This is not

the forum for these messages, nor do I appreciate have my email posted

in any way on this type of 'sucker' email.

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the warning..Im GLAD you posted it. Surley we can warn each

other about stuff like this since we use computers and we recieve

emails from this forum ?! How often does this happen ? Not often. And

if its dangerous enough,it might effect some of us here.

If you check out the second post in this thread, the " warning " was

checked out on snopes.com and it is not a valid warning.

Here is another fact to consider. I would hope that each and every

one of us who is on the WWW has a good anti-virus program that

updates automatically. Many of those programs will send out their own

warnings as well. It is their business to keep up on all new threats.

If it comes in the format of a private email, it is a spam scam. Same

thing with any " petitions " that are not done through a website that

has a special interest in the cause being petitioned and will not

only protect your private information (i.e. not send it out in a many-

headed hydra type email blitz) but will truly do with it what they

say.

Repeat: this warning is not valid. And this forum is not the place

for such warnings. All such emails should be checked out on snopes.com

AND ALL PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESSES SHOULD BE DELETED FROM THE FORWARDS

IF THE PERSON FEELS THEY JUST MUST SEND THEM!

I, for one, am sick of being opened up for spam by a thoughtless

inveterate forwarder sending my email to ultimately thousands of

people on the net. This happens to be one of my pet peeves.

Alobar,

" As the " warning " was a hoax to harvest e-mails, I have no idea why you

are glad you got the warning. "

it better to know than not. I do a google and if its a hoax it is. i

just dont pass on any info till i know.

Does that answer your " why " .
