Virus Alert
I just received this message!!!!
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.
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
a mail called "invitation", though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately.
Urban Legend methinks.
No warning from McAfee.
In all probability this is a hoax as Muhammed12 mentions. If you receive such mails do not forward it to your friends as this helps build the chain and clog the internet with Junk. In any case it is a good practice not to open attachments from unknown sources and better still have a good Anti-virus with latest engines and signatures.
it is a hoax for years..iam not sure abt that osama thing..but that burnning drive is a hoaz for years
thanks.
