[Nerwin]

I just got this from my work place, So please read and tell other people about it, Thanks!

THIS IS A HUGE Warning!!!!!PLEASE INFORM EVERYONEEmails 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 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 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.

This is an old hoax. Why are you posting about it? Just to continue the chain letter effect? That doesn't seem like something you would normally do, computerMan.

OMG!!! VIRUS ALERT!!! I got this from a friend... apparently THOUSANDS of windows machines have this virus now!

If you find a file in C:\WINDOWS\system32 with an icon with a moon and a curved window DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY!! IT IS A VIRUS!! If you open it, it will pretend to either do nothing or to put your computer to sleep but really it is INSTALLING BAD SOFTWARE! It will crash your computer and make it so that your computer falls asleep one second after it awakes! THIS IS A BAD VIRUS! DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY!

Well, actually, I just made that up. And thanks to Windows File Protection, they can't delete winlogon.
