I send this along as recommended by Dave who vouches he has checked the truthfulness of the warnings.

Subject: virus scam
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!!!!
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.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!
It is better to give than to receive, the best things come in small packages.
