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.) Email"s with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these email's 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.
Won't know if true but beware anyway
