Scary Virus. Please read what i wrote. just so you know about it and can inform others.?

Question

My mom sent me an email about a virus being sent around. it was quite scary. Just wanted others to know about it. this is waht it said.

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

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 u should send this e-mail to all ur contacts.
not quite a dating question. just thought people should no
