Virus Hoax
« on: August 10, 2009, 10:34:04 PM »
after about one year again I'm receiving so many e-mails with content like this:

Quote
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! 


   
 
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!


   1.) 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.


 FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND  CONTACTS:


   
 
 
   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 e-mail called 'invitation', even though  sent by a friend. Do not open it!!! 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, where the vital file information is kept.. 


   
 
 
SEND  THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!! 

for sure it's same old Virus Hoax and users need to ignore it, you would get this from your friends and... and it's better you tell them it's a virus hoax and they must end it here.
