"DO NOT DELETE"




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!




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!





1.) 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.





PLEASE FORWAR D THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:





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!!! 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=2 0ther vital information is kept.





SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
