MG TD TF 1500 - computer virus

received this from a Tech friend. So I cut and pasted to give you the
message!

URGENT !! TWO SUBJECT LINES TO BEWARE OF:

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. READ AND HEED.

I just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL.ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR
FICTION AND IT'S on their site also.

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.
Good day all
Just thought I would pass this along to the mg td/TF board. John


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 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 a mail call ed "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

John

That's funny...when I went to Snopes they said it was "Real, but outdated".

I think John is a troll.....

Genetally, such messages are hoaxes, they have been around for years.
