There is a virus on the loose!!!!

I jsut got the notice that there is a virus on the loose! Read this ALL OF IT and protect yourself spread it to friends and family this is important

Anubis Of Metroid Headquarters
 

This might be a false alarm but better to be safe than sorry. I got this warning off a site.
----------
Just got this from a trusted friend,

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 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 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.


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 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.


PLEASE PASS ON
----------

So there you go, watchout kids. (I didnt find the older warning about virus topics so I made a new one)

Nope, it's not fake. I googled it, it's apparently very dangerous. But i think it was discovered last month. Luckily, i always delete mail from an unfamiliar source. But if it's as dangerous as they say, i feel bad for anyone who's caught it.

IT FRIGGIN DESTROYS YOUR HARD DRIVE!!

As I said on SCU, this is hardly credible. A virus that destroys your entire C drive? Pfff. That letter tells you to shut down your computer if you get just the email, without even OPENING it, and then send the message to everybody you know 25 times.. It's just spam, seriously. And Googling it will most likely bring up a bunch of forum topics like this one where people actually buy it. Sorry guys, it's just not real, or if it is, this letter exaggerates and does an INCREDIBLY poor job of making it sound real.

No. I use OSX, and it's based on the Mach UNIX kernel.
I had a PC that died last year, and I had Linux on it. So now I'm a OSX-only user.
And I have an Amiga, with OS 3.5. But I will not have any windows-crap in my house.

There are lots of viruses that "destroy" the C drive. All they have to do is clear the MBR, clear the Table of Contents, or repartiion it...

And Butch... Windows has more software as a whole, too. Technically, I alone have made 240 Windows programs.

I can run Linux, OS9 and OSX software.

Yes, games are software, but there are much much more software in total for *nix machines.
