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.


Really ? I thought he was going in shares on a motel with Elvis ?


This bit above is the virus that would be more likely to catch people, and as they say............no fix.

Hi girls.. would just like to point out that this email is a hoax.. and it is usually a good idea to look up some of the hoax websites that are around to check the authenticity of any of these types of emails you get.. saves stressing over nothing about.com is a good place to start :-)

here is what it says about the email you have warned people about here


Osama Bin-Laden hanged hoax
By Mary Landesman, About.com

In July 2004, a Trojan was sent out bearing the subject line "Osama Found Hanged". The body of the email read:
Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday evening. As evidence they took several photos, some of which i have included here. As yet, this information has not hit the headlines due to Bush wanting confirmation of his identity but the journalists have released some early photos over the internet..
The email then included a link to a website which downloaded a variant of the Hackarmy Trojan, a rather ho-hum backdoor that logged on to a predefined IRC server and accepted certain commands. The Trojan was easily detectable by antivirus, the site was shutdown quickly, and few - if any - infections actually occurred as a result. In short, it was dead in the water before it even started to swim.

Now fast forward to a year later. In July 2005, twelve months after this original non-threat was discovered, someone composed a panicked email claiming:

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!!!
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel.

Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.

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.

Is that a fact......thanks Blonde, came through with all the right ID, I just couldn't post it onto the site. Seemed genuine.

You're fairly switched on... for a blonde.

yeah, i get a lot of these in my inbox as well as all the ones telling me how many friends i have, how much money I get all from sending on to 50 more of your friends. The are also ones about how you're going to get mugged if you look the wrong way at the servo or supermarket...I am farkin' over them! Shit like this is why i stopped watching current affairs shows...nothing but scaremongers preying on people's insecurities!! Assholes

abe

yeah most of them do look genuine.. but it pays to check anything like that out first before forwarding it on

why thanks sir

Hey Blonde, it's your turn to give it to kismat!

well he will have to wait for a little bit.. my son just wants to check something on the net so he kicking me off .. his network card on his laptop is not working or something

He has a laptop?... I remember you saying if anyone was to get a laptop, it would be you!

good memory you got there!!.. and yep.. I did say that!! but the one he has was given to him by his uncle the other day cos he upgraded his and he is loaded!! pity he is on my ex's side of the family and not mine.. or I would have got it myself!

I used to religiously watch the news and 7:30 report, things like that. I stopped a few years ago and feel much better. Most stuff in the news isn't necessary to know, just makes you feel the world is a bad place.

A Current Affair and Today Tonight are really bad. Always picking on anyone that isn't smug, middle of the road, 2.5 kids, employed, 'Aussie Battlers' (who aren't really battling anything - they're doing fine).

Touche Tamar - they are full of shit we don't need to know. Makes me very cranky. I went to a Newways party once coz my cousin was going to become a demonstrator, i went apeshit when they started telling us that our shampoo and conditioner were giving us cancer,,that was it, i went off tap yelling at the demonstrator that they had no idea what causes cancer and as far as we know it could be the toe jam in our shoes! i thinkmy head was all red with veins popping out an everything Jesus, it made me so mad though
