Please be careful when sending virus warnings, as many are SPAM.
The first warning, while once "real" refers to an outbreak from 2004.

The second virus warning "invitation" is a hoax virus, not a real
threat.

	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.
This e-mail is being distributed throughout countries around the globe,
but mainly in the US and Israel. 
	    
	  Be considerate & send this warning to your e-mail contacts.
	    
	You should be alert during the next days:
	Do not open any message with an attached filed 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. 
	    
	These messages 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 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
August 1st and there is no repair yet.  This virus simply destroys the
Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where vital information is kept.
