Without getting too embroiled in the heated issues of politics, terrorism and the quest for justice, it's no surprise that the majority of Americans and some folks around the world would like to see terrorist Osama Bin Laden dead. Unfortunately, someone took advantage of this emotional topic and sent out a virus labeled as Bin Laden committing suicide.
This bug, which had been seen on the internet before, was repackaged (with the suicide claim) and attached to a message that was posted on over 30,000 Usenet newsgroups. As of yet, it hasn't hit email inboxes. But obviously everyone should be vigilant.
