    Protect Your Computer -New and Serious Virus Alert




    SERIOUS VIRUS THREAT



    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 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.

    URGENT !!) TWO SUBJECT LINES TO BEWARE OF:


    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.

    You should be alert during the next 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.

    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 Disc, where the vital information is kept.

      Obviously , I have been taken in by this hoax and posted it without sufficient research.

      I want to thank TSCurious, for posting the appropriate and correct information in this regard. I'll try to be exacting and precise before posting notices of this nature in the future.

      My apologies to all and sundry.

          It's probably best to shut down computer anyway, go see your favourite t-girl and then enjoy the sunshine.

            Mr. Kink :- You possess an hilarious sense of humour. As for my 'favourite ' Tgirl,
            the ideal is very elusive.
