I don't know if this is a rumor or the truth but I want to post it!
I just received it in my e-mail box and I don't think it hurts to be aware of this. The person says she verified this in Snopes, I checked and didn't see it, but it IS listed in Truthorfiction.com.
I checked myself. It is one the 20 topics of this hour even though it states it was updated in 2006. This is the link to truthorfiction:

But since this virus will eat through your Zero Sector of your entire C Drive, I am not taking any chances, It will be sent to you from someone you know, it is an attachment also. So I am letting everyone know, it can't hurt.

This is the actual copy and paste of the e-mail I received this morning:
Subject: VERY IMPORTANT
VERY IMPORTANT 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 FORWARD 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 the vital information is kept.
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!!
