Email Attachment Warning

[chrisbis]

I received this email form a very good friend, with whom I keep in regular contact.

I have no reason to suspect that the warning containing within, is Genuine.

Its up to U to decide if U need to be aware of it, or not.
I've put it in Quotes, so as to make it stand alone within this Posting.

Subject: NEW VIRUS -- URGENT

Subject:  Urgent


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.
