BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. READ AND HEED.
I just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL.
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, but mainly in the US and Israel .
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 harddisc C of your computer.
This virus wi ll 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 an e-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.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

Honestly my advice is do not EVER click on a link sent to you in email. If you really want to read the news online, MSNBC.com. Also links to sexy or porn sites are USUALLY going to try to install spyware when you click on it. Be suspect of all crap sent to you thru email.

Thanks, Tim. With all the idiots out there today, Sapph is right.
If in doubt, I delete without opening. Safest way!

I agree. If in doubt;DELETE!
I good friend of mine, who is a Software Geek, forwarded me an e-mail once...it had 1400 Trojan Horses in it!
I had to have my hard drive wiped clean, and re-written.
BE SAFE!
Thanks for heads up TIm!
