Virus Alert!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Carousel Realty of Dyer County Tn 248435000

Just got this in and wanted to share with all my friends here in the "rain".

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! 
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!

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.
   
 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!!!
   
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 other vital information is kept. 
   
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!

Hi Mike~  I was alerted to this by Nicolas, he re-blogged this.  Thanks for sharing this!  It's nice to have a heads up and to keep it from happening!

Thanks for the warning, Mike.  I just wonder what motivates people to come up with this kind of disruption--if they just put their minds into doing something more constructive!

Thanks for the warning Mike...I'll pass it on. What kind of a sick mind sits around and creates these things anyway?

Ahem.  Both the Bin Laden Captured hoax and the Invitation hoax have been circulating for years.  According to Snopes, the two hoaxes were combined in 2006.
