Subject:Fw: URGENT!!!!!!URGENT!!!!!!!!!! URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!.
Received this just now
TWO SUBJECT LINES of which to be AWARE
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.) 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 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!!!!
Unfortunately, unlike the Trojan it warns about, the email hoax is getting wide distribution, spreading FUD and wasting time and bandwidth. Please do be considerate; DON'T send this warning to anyone you know. It's as bogus as the alleged pictures of Osama are.

The hoax was based off a Trojan that was easily detectable and certainly didn't do what this claims.
