PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE
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.
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. /span>

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 Di sc, where the vital information is kept.

Hoax emails – be aware

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) regularly receives enquiries from members of
the public in relation to hoax emails which circulate on the internet.

Many of these emails are harmless nuisances or spam, but some are scams
designed to trap the unwary. In addition, some emails may contain malicious
software such as viruses and spy ware.

Some common hoax email enquiries received by the AFP include:

1. The reverse PIN number email
This hoax email claims that police will automatically be notified if you enter your
PIN number backwards into a bank’s Automatic Teller Machine (ATM), in the
event that you are held up at an ATM.

2. The Osama Bin Laden capture email
This hoax email purports to be a warning message about a destructive virus that
causes computer systems to crash if users open an email containing pictures
of Osama Bin Laden.

These email messages, and others like them, are hoaxes. They should be ignored,
deleted and not forwarded to others.

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.

Lines like that in email that blindly gets forwarded around the world are the biggest clue that these emails are nothing but spam.

It's bad enough getting this sort of rubbish in your inbox from well meaning friends and relatives, but... well, you know where I'm going with this..
