This was received via email. I confirmed it on http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp

I never open that stuff. This first thing I do is check FR or one of the media sites.

People send viruses by email?

[Cagey]

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!!!

I don't think a virus can get on your computer simply by opening an email. Isn't it the attachment that has to be opened?

[Horatio Gates]

Thank you for the heads up on that.

[Prime Choice]

This is a genuine virus, but it's nearly a full year old. If you're not patched against it yet, you deserve to have your computer nuked.

[fire and forget]

Thanks for the heads up. You and I met in person by the way at the White House (the restaurant in Anaheim) about five years ago. How've you been?

Let the UN handle it

It's an old trojan first discovered in 2003. See McAfee's writeup on this.

[Andy from Beaverton]

Go buy the best virus protection on the market, get a Mac!

[tx_eggman]

Microsoft has made available updates that close the hole exploited by this Trojan.

A year ago ...

[konaice]

Of course, this virus has been around since April of 2004 and
every anti-virus already knows how to handle it just fine.

Yawn.....

Please post a new messages of every 2 year old virus and trojan to Free Republic hourly. I never get enough of these. Then shoot me.

[Aeronaut]

Karl Rove should resign because of this.
