<div class="IPBDescription">don't open "osama found"</div> There seems to be a new AIM worm going around that sends itself out, in link form, to everybody on your buddy list. The link says "osama found" and i'm pretty sure if you open it in like.. Opera it shouldn't do anything, i don't think it did to me, but unpatched IE users beware.


I don't have any other info on this... I do'nt see it the Norton site, so it's either very new or very old.

    Or the last alternative... Norton sucks, and is about as useful in protecting your computer as a thirteen-year-old tire would be.

    yowzers....... i did a google search on Osama Found Virus, and i didnt get any feedback on it, but there were a ton of pages warning about the Osama vs Bush virus which will delete your C:, so i suggest leaving both alone!

    i got the link from one guy i didnt know and i refused to click on it because it was a stranger. i yelled at him.

    then i got the link from a friend, and i at least looked at it, and it did the popup "Do you want to install NewsSearchMeter" and behind it it said, really you should! its good for you! i clicked cancel and enver saw if osama was found! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    i mean, not only do i not click those installer things but it was from a new company i had never heard of, WTH!
