Guys this looks to be the real deal..........more islamic fundamentalist bs. The effect is your pc is history.

pass it on

..................................................................................................

Don't open any email mentioning osama or an 'invitation'
URGENT!!


BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. READ AND HEED.



I just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL.

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 filed called


"Invitation" regardless of who sent it.


It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which
"burns" the w hole 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 co ntacts.


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.
< /FONT>
This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard
Disc, where the
vital information is kept.

I didn't want to say anything but this warning has been around for a few years. I've never known anyone to even get this e-mail.

Better safe than sorry though.
