Sent to me by a friend!
TWO SUBJECT LINES of which to be AWARE.
Just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL. ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR
FICTION, IT'S on their site also.
PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE you know!
1.) 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 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.
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 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', even though sent by a
friend. Do not open it!!!
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
other vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!

| I tend to be paranoid as I can't afford another laptop ATM although my roommate says she can fix anything I manage to do. I dread the day I put her to the test! |

| no worries if u use common sense when browsing u can avoid getting virus ever. if something looks dodgy say a video that needs u to install a .exe file to watch is normally a virus.
its about common sense and if u use a decent antivirus shouldnt have nothign to worry about
