I should have taken a screen shot and posted it, but I didn't. I just closed the page and came back several hours later. If I get it again, I will do so.
Filename: 'London Terror Moovie.avi
If you receive an email entitled "Bedtimes" delete it IMMEDIATELY. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the strips on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR, and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will program your phone auto dial to call only 0898 numbers. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.
IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING. It will drink ALL your beer. FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING??
It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine. If the "Bedtimes" message opens in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.
WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.
And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll pass wind so hard that your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in front of you, sending sparks that will ignite the nearest person . Send this warning to everyone!!! THERE'S A LOT OF SADNESS IN THE WORLD! Right now, as you read this, 17 Million people are having SEX!!! And look at sad you - you're on the computer! [:D]

and so on. This information arrived this morning, direct from both
Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has
access to the Internet.
You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled
'Mail Server Report'. If you open either file, a message will appear
on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer
beautiful.'
Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC, and
the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail
and password.
This is a new virus which started to circulate on
Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the
anti virus softwares are not capable of destroying it.
The virus has been created by a hacker who calls
himself 'life owner'.
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!
Ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!!
THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/mailserver.asp
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/osama.htm
I checked both links and they are legit....
THIS IS TRUE, CONFIRMED BY GOING TO SNOPES.COM and Urbanlegends.about.com
Warning! It's real and confirmed.
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!
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel.
Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.
If you get an email along the lines of "Osama bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment.
Confirmed at: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osamahanged.asp
Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of more computer users around the world than "Osama bin Laden Captured," and that's exactly what whoever created this lure was counting on to snare unsuspecting victims who use Microsoft platforms.
"Osama bin Laden Captured" isn't a virus in itself; it's the text of a message that includes a link to a file called EXPLOIT.EXE. When a message recipient clicks on this link to view what he thinks are pictures of Osama bin Laden's capture, he can end up downloading an executable Trojan known as Backdoor-AZU, BKDR_LARSLP.A, Download.Trojan, TrojanProxy.Win32.Small.b,or Win32.Slarp. Clicking the embedded link in the "Osama bin Laden Captured" message auto-executes a file called "EXPLOIT.EXE," which exploits a known security hole to download the Trojan. According to McAfee Security:
The Trojan opens a random port on the victim's machine. It sends the Port information to a webpage at IP address 66.139.77.145. The Trojan listens on the open port for instructions and redirects traffic to other IP addresses. Spammers and hackers can take advantage of compromised systems by using the infected computer as a middleman, allowing them to pass information through it and remain anonymous
"Go over,go under,go around,or go through.But never give up. "
NO WE WON'T
A message to all members of NO WE WON'T
Just recieved this email, it apears to be the real deal. Better safe than sorry. You decide......................... The Management.

**Thank You**
** My heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the
time and trouble to send me "forwards" over the past 12 months. **
**Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. **
**Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on
envelopes, because I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to
seal an envelope. **
**Also, I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.**
**Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can
remove toilet stains. **
**I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper, since the people who make these
products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans. **
**I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.**
**I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be
gentlemaned with a needle infected with AIDS. **
**I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants, even though I smell like a
water buffalo on a hot day. **
**I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a
cologne sample and rob me. **
**I no longer receive packages from, nor send packages by, UPS or FedEx
since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise. **
**I no longer answer the phone, because someone will ask me to dial a
number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda,
Singapore and Uzbekistan. **
**I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible
mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers. **
**I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive
my free replacement pair from Nike. **
**I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I
now have their recipe. **
**I no longer worry about my soul because at last count I have 363,214
>angels looking out for me. **
**Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I
forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five
minutes. **
**I no longer have any money because I gave them to a sick girl who is
about to die in the hospital (for the 258th time) but that will change
once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for
participating in their special email program. **
**Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will
now return the favor! **
**If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7
minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your
head at 5:00 p.m. (CST) this afternoon. I know this will occur because
it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's
ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician
