[Boatanchors] Virus

[K6SDE]

Yet another hoax.

Old stuff from last year with a new twist trying to make all those naïve
users get in a panic.

The Snopes information "quoted" is incomplete and no longer applicable.

Read the CIAC information:

HOAXBUSTERS:
 
http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBMalCode.shtml#binladen
 

And from yet another source:
http://antivirus.about.com/od/emailhoaxes/a/osamahanged.htm

It never fails to make me wonder about people who spread this stuff when a
simple Google search will bring up the latest information about these never
ending hoaxes. 

I received it from one of my two brothers.  My brother should have known
better than to pass this nonsense to everybody in his address book.

Just remember 99% of what you get from "reliable sources" is nonsense....

DO NOT PASS ON THIS BALONEY!

Ian, K6SDE

A friend of mine sent me a notice today about an apparently SNOPES 
verified virus concerning Osama Bin laden.  Any others heard about this? 
  Didn't want to send the notice unless it was verified.
