I don't know exacly were i must sent this, but it is true.
PLEASE READ IT GOOD...

Emails with pictures of Osama Bin Laden hanged would be sent and when you open them your computer will crash and you are unable to prevent it.
So if you receive an email with the description: "Osama Bin Laden Captured" or Osama Hanged "
than the Annex is not open! This mail is distributed all over the world.
Note well the next day!
Do not open any email with an attachment called "Invitation" no matter from whom you also receive e-mail.
It contains a virus that opens an Olympic fakkel'opent the hard disc C of your computer 'Kindle'.
This e-mail you receive from someone your e-mail address in his / her contact list has listed. What is the way the mail is distributed.
Therefore important that you forward this email to all your email contacts!
It is better to receive this e-mail to receive 25 times, then you receive the virus and open.
If you receive a mail called 'Invitation' even though sent by a friend,
DO NOT OPEN! and turn your computer immediately!
This is the worst virus announced doorCNN, 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 disk, where vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL IS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!



SO PLEASE DON'T OPEN THAT E-MAIL...

Heh, a little copy and paste of my own from the JAWA forums
---------------------------------------
I've heard of plunty of viruses being called the "most destructive virus ever" and it's really not true. Just because a virus can destroy the data on your hard drive doesn't mean it is the most destructive.

A truely destructive virus spreads far and wide, and an e-mail virus is extremely limited. I could create an e-mail virus if I put my mind to it, they're ridiculously easy to create because there's practically no skill involved in the spread of it because it depends not on computer vulnerability but rather gullible people openning strange e-mails.

The MSBlaster worm infected, what, over 25 million computers? It did that not through e-mail but through an exploit in windows that required no interaction from the user to take advantage of. That virus took down all of Microsoft's services for a while using every infected computer as a soldier in Denial Of Service attacks.

This virus being talked about here has actually been around since 2005 when, at the time, the news of the E-mail was not true. Now that Osama -is- dead, it's made a comeback.

The lesson? Always be careful what you open even from people you know. Don't open an attachment from someone unless you know ahead of time (say, through MSN), that they'll be sending you one.

I also never suggest mass e-mailing your friends and contacts about these viruses either, as there are other malicious e-mails that take advantage of such ideals and are designed to appear as a warning themselves when in fact they're as destructive as the others.

Overall, this gets a 1 out of 10 on Ivanova's panic meter.

My process of dealing with this information

Step 1, Ask google: -
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=Email ... den+hanged
Step 2, Click the very first link: -
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/osama.htm
Step 3: Copy and paste from that link: -
In June, 2002, a corrupted version of this Osama Bin Laden warning started circulating along with a virus warning that is an old hoax. It claimed that if you opened the attachment to the Osama Bin Laden email you would get a virus that will destroy your hard drive. That is not true. Then the eRumor also talks about an "Invitation" or "Olympic Torch" virus, which does not exist and is a hoax.


That, and as I know what a computer is and how it works, etc, sensational posts don't worry me - but I am concerned that if Kevin Mitnick gets a capt'n crunch whistle he could start World War 3 if he uses it to whistle into a phone...

Besides, as Aki says, any email that is unsolicited and carries a payload that you open, well, that is "inviting" trouble.
