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!

This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel.

Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to
whomever you know.

If you get an email along the lines of "Osama Bin
Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment.


2. Please read the attached warning issued today.
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, & gt; where the vital information is kept.

SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, COPY THIS E-MAIL AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND REMEMBER:  IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US.

Lucy by passing on these emails you are doing exactly as the spammers intended :)   You can always check on this site if they are hoaxes but generally by just ignoring any such email you are helping the internet stay free of them.
