The following mail I received from a well meaning friend can be helpful.

TWO      SUBJECT LINES of which to be AWARE. 
   

  Just verified this with Snoopes 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 Torchwhich '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 an e-mail called 'invitation', even  though sent by a friend. Do not open it!!! 

   

  This is the worst virus announced byCNN, it has  been classified by Microsoftas 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.

Thanks Rajeev.
What Rajeev has stated are simple rules of AV and Mail Security that most people know or should know but in their hurry to see "nice" pictures tend to forget.
ALL attachments, unless from known sources should NOT be opened. To add to what Rajeev had said, if it is an important attachment, make sure that there is communication from the sender either pre or post the mailing of attachmant. 
I am definitely a "nice" guy and all, well most of the chaps in my contacts will agree. But if my computer gets a virus, all the chaps in my contacts can be at risk better to confirm first before opening an attachment
