Now that's just frigg'n messed up. People suffer and die to try and catch this SOB and some stupid little brat uses this struggle for a damn virus. May his computer fall upon his white hairless pointed head!

Thx for the heads up John!

Warning: E-mail about Osama Bin Laden

OK, so you are curious when you receive this e-mail with the subject line "Osama Bin Laden Captured" and you open it.  STOP.  Caution.

April 23, internetnews.com - 'Osama Captured' e-mail is malicious trojan. Those "Osama Bin Laden Captured" e-mails hammering your in-box today will attempt to download a Trojan if the embedded URL is clicked, anti-virus experts warned Friday, April 23. Panda Software said the URL embedded in the e-mail directs users to what appears to be an advertising page before exploiting a known security vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer
(IE) browser to download the trojan. If the link is activated via IE, the browser auto-executes a file called "EXPLOIT.EXE" and downloads an executable trojan, identified as "Trj/Small.B." The "Small.B" trojan opens ports on an infected machine and can be used to hijack PCs for use as spam zombies. The trojan has the ability to listen on the open port for instructions and redirects traffic to other IP addresses. Source: http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/ar ... hp/3344641
